More clearly separate the word "type" and the name of the type in the message wikilambda-special-objectsbytype-listheader
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

What happens?:

The first heading is "All Objects of type Type (Z4)".

What should have happened instead?:

The sentence "All Objects of type Type (Z4)" is a bit ugly in English, and it's ugly in many other languages, too. If I understand correctly, the link from the editing form always points to type Type, so there will always be this repeating word or something close to it.

It would make more sense to have better separation between "type" and "Type". A solution that seems very easy and sensible to me is to change the message wikilambda-special-objectsbytype-listheader and put the name of the type, which is $1 there, in double quotes. It's also possible to distinguish it using formatting, e.g. ''$1'', but simple double quotes would be enough.
