WordPress has supported custom page templates for over 12 years, allowing developers to create various layouts for specific pages.
While this feature is very helpful, it has always been limited to the 'page' post type and not was not available to other post types.
By opening up the page template functionality to all post types, we continue to improve the template hierarchy's flexibility.
In addition to the `Template Name` file header, the post types supported by a template can be specified using `Template Post Type: post, foo, bar`.
When at least one template exists for a post type, the 'Post Attributes' meta box will be displayed in the back end, without the need to add post type support for `'page-attributes'`. 'Post Attributes' can be customized per post type using the `'attributes'` label when registering a post type.

- changes the "X" links in buttons, improves their color contrast ratio and focus style
- adds screen reader text "Remove item: + tagname"
- uses `wp.a11y.speak()` to give screen reader users feedback when adding/removing tags
- makes the `tagcloud-link` toggle a button, with an `aria-expanded` attribute to indicate the tag cloud collapsed/expanded state
- changes colors for the autocomplete highlighted option in order to have a better color contrast ratio
- reduces the font size for the autocomplete on Press This
- removes CSS related to the old `suggest.js` from Press This

- Replace suggest.js with UI Autocomplete.
- Use the same settings like in the editor link toolbar.
- Abstract it and add in a new file, tags-suggest.js. Then make it a dependency for the Tags postbox(es) and Quick and Bulk Edit.
- Add `data-wp-taxonomy` on all input elements to improve handling in the UI for custom taxonomies.

This introduces the singular `edit_term`, `delete_term`, and `assign_term` meta capabilities for terms, and switches the base capability name for tags from `manage_categories` to `manage_post_tags` and the corresponding `edit_post_tags`, `delete_post_tags`, and `assign_post_tags`.
All of these capabilities ultimately map to `manage_categories` so by default there is no change in the behaviour of the capabilities for categories, tags, or custom taxonomies. The `map_meta_cap` filter and the `capabilities` argument when registering a taxonomy now allow for control over editing, deleting, and assigning individual terms, as well as a separation of capabilities for tags from those of categories.

Introduces some consistency in the usage of the button CSS classes, fixes the
focus style for accessibility and responsiveness of the buttons.
- Adds the `button` class to all primary buttons make them responsive
- Removes all `secondary-button` classes and replaces it with button when needed. `button-secondary` shouldn't be used and exists just for backward compatibility reasons
- Replaces classes inside `submit_button()` with a shorthand for some buttons, and use an empty string for the default `button` class. Passing `button` is unnecessary
- Adjusts `get_submit_button()` to remove empty items

The `submitdelete` CSS class is used in various places across the admin for some
"red" action links. It is worth simplifying this rule for further improvements
related to color contrast.
- simplifies a non-standard styling for the "Remove/Cancel" links in the Menus screen
- underlines all the "Move to trash/Delete" red links in all the Publish meta boxes
- fixes CSS classes usage for all the Publish meta boxes primary buttons
- fixes broken layout for the old Link Manager publish meta box

Longer passwords and passphrases are much more common than when post passwords were introduced all those eons ago, so let's increase the length of the `post_password` field from 20 to 255 characters.
The password will continue to be stored in plaintext, as the ability for the post author to view the password is a commonly used feature.

Avoid references to "visual" positions in favour of positions in the document
structure. The help text shouldn't assume users can see.
Also, in the Posts screen don't mention specific types of posts and use a more
generic text instead.

because there's no control exposed in the UI for that. The Revisions

User dropdowns in wp-admin have traditionally shown the users' display names.
However, this causes ambiguity when users share display names. To correct this,
we now show the unique user_login in parentheses after the display name.
The new `display_name_with_login` value for the `show` parameter of
`wp_dropdown_users()` enables this functionality. The default value of `show`
has not been changed, for backward compatibility, but all instances of
`wp_dropdown_users()` in core wp-admin have been switched.
This changeset also reduces some duplicated logic when assembling a user list
when `include_selected` is true.

* Introduce `is_post_type_viewable( $post_type_object )`
* Separate the HTML bits from the translatable bits in the `post` messages array in `edit-form-advanced.php`
* Don't show certain UI pieces when a post is not viewable on the front end
When a custom post type item is not viewable on the front end, we don't want to show links to View it (on the front end) all over the admin. We also want to hide the Preview link, et al. We also want our admin messages to not contain said links.
Custom post types with `public_queryable` set to `false` are not viewable on the front end.
`'page'` is viewable on the front end, but `'page'` is a `_builtin` type, and `public_queryable` is set to `false` when it is registered - see `WP::parse_request()` for when `public_queryable` gets used.
This is confusing, but also somewhat straightforward: to determine if a post type is viewable on the front end, we can check one way for `_builtin => true` and another way for `_builtin => false`:
`$post_type->publicly_queryable || ( $post_type->_builtin && $post_type->public )`
If a post type is `publicly_queryable`, it's viewable. If that value is `false`, it is viewable if it's a `_builtin` type that is also `public`.
I am in search of edge cases, so this shall land.

Users are frequently confused as to why the content they've entered or the page template they've selected doesn't apply for this one page. Showing and saving items that don't do anything hurts trust.
Developers can elect to turn on the editor should they be using it for something. If the content isn't empty, the editor will show so that users still have access to their content.
