So, on our discourse server we use topic slugs like 123-region-2 this has been no issue until recently. Now it seems thats the discourse server, if it gets a request for example 5454-region-3 and that topic slug does not exist. It gets the topic with topic id 5454 and this creates a lot of problems. …

Nice, we only have 37k topic slugs to rename. :smiley::gun:

Renaming 37K topics could be done with a script. If you have a budget for such, post on Marketplace or contact me directly. Re-training your users to guess new URLs, which would seem much harder. But how did you train them to guess URLs in the first place? Are they coming from some other site that …

Indeed. I got lost on this one a couple different ways.
