There is not a store, not even a redirect creation. The name of the topic is completely dismissed when the URL has the topic ID, so renames are free.

For example, this topic here is

[https://meta.discourse.org/t/seo-issue-slug-names-for-topics-should-never-change-on-title-changes/162580](https://meta.discourse.org/t/seo-issue-slug-names-for-topics-should-never-change-on-title-changes/162580)

but if I change the URL to

[https://meta.discourse.org/t/i-like-pineaple-pizza/162580](https://meta.discourse.org/t/i-like-pineaple-pizza/162580)

it works just the same.
