I can’t wrap my head around it. What is that?

[image] actually, it has nothing to do with slugs. It’s a short name for the category that is used in various places such as the URL for direct access (e.g. https://meta.discourse.org/c/support) and hashtag mentions (e.g. Support ). It can’t contain spaces or special characters.

So basically category slug is a “short name” for said category which is used in the web address (so that the Support category https://meta.discourse.org/c/support can be named support but have the link https://meta.discourse.org/c/help-meh).

Yes, but this does not address the most important question: where can we get a hat like yours? Edit: also this is a typesetting term from when type used metal letters, hence slug.

So there is this “ bar ” (if it can be called so). And one time I found that hat thrown on the floor in one of their storage rooms, took it and someone took some photos of me while wearing it. Warning: the hat is magical and makes one look way prettier in pictures than reality :slight_smile:
