Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Do we want "Wonderfalls" in the slug? I thought we wanted it to be more stealthy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Who are we hiding from? Search engines or humans? Do search engines rank proximity? Because the front page will come up for wonderfalls spoilers anyway. Not putting Wonderfalls in the slug might make it come up less high, but the basic ship has sailed.

I couldn't remember which way we had gone on that, Jon. I thought it was okay to have it in the slug 'cos it isn't Googleable?

I'm for more stealth. I want to be more under the radar rather than less.

And I love the new title of this new thread. It's shiny!

Terminology check:

Title: Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?

Description:

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Slug: Administrative discussions

Yes?

If so, slugs are googleable, descriptions are not.

Thanks, ita.

In that case, replace "Wonderfalls" with "that show" in the slug. Or, you know, something clever-er.

I'm not feeling very clever today.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Do we absolutely need to have a slug? Can't we just have a title and a description?

slug... howabout:

Spoilers Inside!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We're already in the top 50 sites returned by Google for wonderfalls spoilers. Mentioning the show in the slug isn't going to change that much.

But are we, I still don't know, trying to hide from people at our front page for other reasons, or from searchers?

I can't speak for anyone else but I'm hiding from people.
