When one navigates to the vocabulary edit page, they get a URL like so: ../admin/content/taxonomy/edit/vocabulary/[vid] where [vid] is the vocabulary id of course. Shouldn't it be ../admin/content/taxonomy/edit/vocabulary/[vocabulary_name] instead?

What would be the sub-path alias that this matches? This almost seems like something way out of scope for this module.

Example:
current path: admin/foo/bar
sub-path: admin/foo (with an URL alias of 'omgbbq')
current path after sub-path alias processing: omgbbq/bar

Hey Dave, I do realize that there is no actual existing sub-path to match this with, so I understand your point. Perhaps this needs to be taken care by both Sub-path URL Aliases and Pathauto(?). I mean, Pathauto allows you to have the 'pretty' url /category/my-node-title.html instead of /node/123. Why not have a pretty URL for vocabularies too?

BTW, I just realized that if this request is to be complete, it should also take care of the 'list terms' and 'add terms' pages as well...

../admin/content/taxonomy/[vid]/add/term to ../admin/content/taxonomy/[vocabulary_name]/add/term

and

../admin/content/taxonomy/[vid] to ../admin/content/taxonomy/[vocabulary_name] or ../admin/content/taxonomy/[vocabulary_name]/list-terms

...which is where Sub-path URL Aliases jumps in (I guess?).

Well, quite frankly aliasing admin paths is kinda silly and it's not something that would ever be accepted into Pathauto. You could always create the aliases yourself, and Subpath URL alias should take care of that for you automatically, but keep in mind its also not recommended to be having sub-path URL alias working on admin paths just in case something goes wrong, then your admin pages are unreachable. You may want to also investigate making your own vocabulary listings (using Views or custom solution) that are not under the admin paths.

As such, I'm marking this request as won't fix.

Fair enough. Thanx for taking the time to consider/reply.
