fill in normalized name automatically #151

Closed slinkp closed 12 years ago

slinkp commented 12 years ago

Several models have a 'normalized name' field which is confusing and error prone. Wherever possible, these should be hidden in the admin and calculated from the pretty name. Types include at least: Location, LocationSynonym, PlaceSynonym, StreetMisspelling, Suburb.

This is also the case to some extent for Street and Block in that certain values are expected to be 'normalized' (street, suffix, city)

(In [8466c9a4977b86d9ae707b011ccb03df8ba88e35]) More normalization. Refs #157

That's probably enough.
