When creating a template, user enters Template Title and Template Name is then set automatically (like fields) #usability

Short description of the enhancement

When creating a template, instead of having to enter first Template Name and then Template Title, I want to enter Template Title first and then have Template Name auto-populated, so I don't need to worry about the Template Name (and so it matches my Template Title).

Current vs. suggested behavior

See above

The current behavior described above often trips me over, too. It is because when creating a new PAGE the default way is to provide the title first and PW generates the name based on that. Creating a template works the other way round for some reason.

BTW, @Toutouwai has a module supporting something like that: https://github.com/Toutouwai/AddTemplateEnhancements
