Description of problem:
On the Backstage Home Page, the 'Top Visited' and 'Recently Visited' cards display entries for pages visited under /create and individual template URLs like:
/create/templates/default/react-ssr-template
/create/templates/default/springboot-template
Currently:
Links to the general /create page appear with the title create.
Links to specific software templates show up with the title Create a new component, regardless of which template was actually used.
This is problematic because:
Users cannot distinguish which specific scaffolder template each entry corresponds to.
Every visited template looks the same in these cards, even if the underlying URLs are different.
This diminishes the value of the cards for users who frequently work with multiple templates.
Steps to Reproduce
- Spin up a Backstage app.
- Navigate to /create and use two different templates (e.g., ArgoCD, Backend Plugin).
- Return to the Home page where 'Top Visited' / 'Recently Visited' cards are displayed.
Observe that:
- Each template appears with a unique path (e.g., /create/templates/default/argocd-template).
- But all entries show the same title: Create a new component.
Actual results:
Each template appears with a unique path, but all entries in 'Top Visited' and 'Recently Visited' cards show the same title: `Create a new component`
Expected results:
Each scaffolder template visited via /create/templates/${namespace}/${template_name} should appear in the 'Top Visited' and 'Recently Visited' cards with its actual template title, rather than the static text Create a new component. This allows users to quickly recognize and return to the specific templates they’ve used.
Reproducibility (Always/Intermittent/Only Once):
Always
