Description
Most of the time I add a common prefix to my column names (such as cat_name, cat_address).
It would be easier if I can specify that prefix when creating a table or adding columns to a table.
I would be happy to start working on this issue if that is accepted.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the table-creation and add-column flows in phpMyAdmin to determine where column names are entered and generated. Define how a common prefix should apply in both cases, then add coverage for the intended behavior before validating the feature against MySQL and MariaDB.
