A slug is the readable part of a web address — the mountain-bike-club in time2.bike/mountain-bike-club. Organizations, events, and series each get one.
The rules
- Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only.
- Can’t start or end with a hyphen.
- Organization addresses are unique across all of Time2Bike; event addresses are
unique within your organization.
If what you want is taken, the picker tells you and suggests something close.
Where each one goes
Changing one
You can change an organization, event, or series address from its settings page
at any time.
Old addresses don’t redirect. Every link anyone has already shared — on a
flyer, in an email, on Facebook — stops working the moment you change it.If you have to change one, do it before you publicise anything, and search
your own emails and posts for the old link afterwards.
Words you can’t use
A handful of words are part of Time2Bike’s own addresses and can’t be taken — auth, dashboard, account, organizations, events, series, profiles, timing, and a few others. The picker rejects them and offers an alternative.
