Description: 

In Drupal 7 and before, titles of nodes, taxonomy terms, etc. were differently represented in templates. With Drupal 8, we unified their naming as $label:

Drupal 7 nodes:

   <?php if (!$page): ?>
    <h2<?php print $title_attributes; ?>><a href="<?php print $node_url; ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php print $title; ?></a></h2>
   <?php endif; ?>

Drupal 8 nodes:

   <?php if (!$page): ?>
    <h2<?php print $title_attributes; ?>><a href="<?php print $node_url; ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php print $label; ?></a></h2>
   <?php endif; ?>

Drupal 7 taxonomy terms:

   <?php if (!$page): ?>
    <h2><a href="<?php print $term_url; ?>"><?php print $term_name; ?></a></h2>
   <?php endif; ?>

Drupal 8 taxonomy terms:

   <?php if (!$page): ?>
    <h2><a href="<?php print $url; ?>"><?php print $label; ?></a></h2>
   <?php endif; ?>
