I don’t know about Regex, so it would be nice if someone helped me.
It will be better for SEO.
**Remove id from category**
`https://meta.discourse.org/c/support/6`
to
`https://meta.discourse.org/c/support`
* * *
Tag: Include tag\_name and tage\_cate.
How to create tag\_title (the default tag only includes tag\_name) is not beautiful ^^

I think that the only relevant stuff in the link is the id, it seems that the category name is actually ignored.
For example, instead of:
> **[Support](https://meta.discourse.org/c/support/6)**
>
> Ask the community for help with anything related to Discourse. To help others help you, share as much detail as you can about the issue and what is occurring, including what you have tried so far from searching, reading the documentation or asking our AI bot.
you can just write:
> **[Support](https://meta.discourse.org/c/support/6)**
>
> Ask the community for help with anything related to Discourse. To help others help you, share as much detail as you can about the issue and what is occurring, including what you have tried so far from searching, reading the documentation or asking our AI bot.
and will end up in the same page.
So it seems that only the id matters (which makes sense, if you want that links to categories remain working even after a category rename). So I don’t know if this will ever change (and I don’t know how much impact ids will have in SEO, but maybe they are not really a problem).
