Template Setup
URL & Slug Rules
Clean URLs make documentation easier to trust, easier to scan, and easier to maintain.
Clean URLs make documentation easier to trust, easier to scan, and easier to maintain.
Recommended slug rules
use lowercase
separate words with hyphens
keep slugs short and descriptive
align the slug with the page's actual topic
Good examples
getting-started
cms-collections-setup
release-notes
private-docs
Avoid
Page01
final-version-new
DocsSetupUpdated
overly long slugs that repeat the category name unnecessarily
Best practice
Change slugs carefully once pages are live. Even in a template context, unstable URLs create friction and make the system feel less reliable.
Use naming that will still make sense six months later, not just during setup week.
