What was the design choice behind going with abbreviated URIs for topics (/t), and categories (/c), but using the full form for accessing user pages (/users)?

Possible to change "/t" in url to something else?

Because /users is a page on its own whereas /t and /c arenā€™t :wink:

The average end user isnā€™t aware of that though, just seems inconsistent.

The average end user isnā€™t looking at the location bar.

Shorter URLs, less desire to ā€œlocalizeā€ URLs since they are not full words.

Probably also because users donā€™t create super long URLs while topics do. Iā€™m glad to have a convention that keeps these a bit shorter.

We need /u/ for /users/ :slight_smile:

Removing more English words from common URL paths to improve localization

Agree, but we should open a specific topic to track this
