Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jwilsson/spotify-web-api-php/issues/33

We've got a bunch of playlist related methods:
addUserPlaylistTracks()
createUserPlaylist()
deletePlaylistTracks()
followPlaylist()
getCategoryPlaylists()
getFeaturedPlaylists()
getUserPlaylist()
getUserPlaylists()
getUserPlaylistTracks()
reorderPlaylistTracks()
replacePlaylistTracks()
unfollowPlaylist()
updateUserPlaylist()

Some include "user", some don't. Some shouldn't, like getCategoryPlaylists() and getFeaturedPlaylists() but I've included them for the sake of completeness.

Now, I think the methods should have a consistent naming. I.e. either all of them should include "user" or none of them should include "user". Perhaps it's best to include "user" in all of them since they operate on a user's playlist but what do others think?

Let the discussion begin!

@jwilsson commented on GitHub (Jul 6, 2015):

deletePlaylistTracks(), reorderPlaylistTracks(), and replacePlaylistTracks() have been renamed to include "User" in their names. See 8768328aee, 2ce8fc51cc, and 6362510344, respectively.

followPlaylist() and unfollowPlaylist() will be left as-is for now.
