hi there , i can see great links nomenclature in discourse.
examples:-
(1):- [Support - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/c/support)
instead of putting /c/ it just directly go to /support , or even modifying /c/ to /category/ or ..etc.
(2):- [https://meta.discourse.org/t/xyxyxyxyx/0000000](https://meta.discourse.org/t/xyxyxyxyx/0000000)
instead of /t/ we put the category name /bug/ or /..etc/
so hope i can these features available or any guides for it if already they r .
thnx

Please tell me if I am incorrect with my assumption. It sounds like you want to change the structure of the URL for SEO purposes.
If not, apologies for the assumption. But either way, the topic of changing the url structure has been discussed before here:
> [@Rewriting categories URL; Will it make future problems?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/rewriting-categories-url-will-it-make-future-problems/29160):
>
> I want to rewrite URL of categories via nginx, this way: meta.discourse.org/c/support → meta.discourse.org/support Will it make next problems during future updates or something else? Is there any better replacement method?
If you have the advanced skill level to edit Discourse’s source code, then Sam’s answer may be what you seek:
> [@Rewriting categories URL; Will it make future problems?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/rewriting-categories-url-will-it-make-future-problems/29160/10):
>
> Routing exists in 2 spots, on the server and on the client [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/routes/app-route-map.js.es6](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/routes/app-route-map.js.es6) .. A rewrite on the server without doing the needed work on the client will result in stuff breaking This is beyond your skill level and will cause problems.

no not for SEO purposes. but yeah i c , then there is no solutions on the horizon atm.
is just to make the URL more understandably useable and give some prettiness to it.
in both cases thnx for your help. 😃

The solution is there. Just that it would take quite a lot to alter the current routing code.
As this would be for “looks” and routing as it is now isn’t broken, the “cost” isn’t worth the “benefit”.
Not to say it couldn’t be done if the skill and interest (or monetary incentive) were there.
