Notes

• Generally a naming convention id will match a route name.
  Exceptions are:

  • field_ui.field_storage_config_add applies to all content entity add field forms.
  • views_ui.* routes include the plugin type and value.

• The Webprofiler toolbar included in the Devel module makes it very easy to determine the current route for any given page.

• All included 'Naming convention' config entities assume that the web sites' default filter format supports basic HTML which includes <p>, <ul>, and <li> tags.
