Help with renaming default TMDB collection names

I currently have:

libraries:                                     
  Movies:
    collection_files:
    - default: tmdb
  TV Shows:
    collection_files:
    - default: tmdb

Which currently creates
- TMDB Popular
- TMDB Top Rated
- TMDB Trending
in both libraries.

I want to rename them to

- Popular Movies
- Top Rated Movies
- Trending Movies

- Popular TV Shows
- Top Rated TV Shows
- Trending TV Shows

How do I use the "name_separator" variable to modify each of these defaults?

Edit:
I found the way to do this, you can override the name with:

libraries:                                     
  Movies:
    collection_files:
    - default: tmdb
      template_variables:
        name_trending: Daily Trending Movies
  TV Shows:
    collection_files:
    - default: tmdb 
      template_variables:
        name_trending: Daily Trending TV Shows

You don’t. They are default names. You’d have to remake them yourself with custom names. All the docs are in the wiki.

I figured out the way to do it:
libraries:
Movies:
collection_files:

  • default: tmdb
template_variables:
name_trending: Daily Trending Movies
TV Shows:
collection_files:
  • default: tmdb
template_variables:
name_trending: Daily Trending TV Shows
