Unclear note in the documentation

Hello

While reading the introduction page about Content Types in the documentation, I found this note:

Note: You should always ensure that the key that defines each of the ContentTypes and the value of the name are the same. In the above example, we start with the key news:, and the name is set to name: News. If these do not match, Bolt will show an error message.

I was wondering what "same" means here exactly, since I have successfully made a ContentType with a name attribute different from its key:

redirection:
    name: Redirections
    singular_name: Redirection
     # ...

Even if the comparison is case-insensitive, both the key and the name attribute are different due to the leading s on Redirections, and still, the website works perfectly on my side.

Ah, yes! It's actually meant to be like "If the key is the same as the (sluggified version of the) name: …"

So, in your case it's suggesting to change redirection: to redirections: to keep it consistent. If you're fine with it as-is, you can leave it. It will work, where it might go wrong is if you're trying to fetch content.. Will it be {% setcontent foo = 'redirection' … %} or {% setcontent foo = 'redirections' … %}? Keeping it consistent will make that possible confusion go away. :-)
