Comment:

 Hi all, a few thoughts/questions here:



 **1**. Is it still possible to use separate custom wording on the menu
 item and page title? For a custom post type like "Location", we'd like to
 set [https://i.imgur.com/mhuRuy6.png the menu item] to "Add New" to keep
 it short, but then display the full "Add New Location" on
 [https://i.imgur.com/8Ie2lAw.png the editing screen].

 Our assumption would be that the `add_new` arg would set one and the
 `add_new_item` arg would set the other, but it appears that the `add_new`
 arg is now completely ignored and that the `add_new_item` arg is instead
 outputted in both locations, leaving us unable to fully customize the
 wording.



 **2**. The
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_post_type/
 register_post_type documentation] still mentions both 'add_new' and
 'add_new_item' and appears to suggest using them in roughly the way that
 we were hoping to use them. Is that documentation no longer correct?
