closedAdd Group Slug explanation text when creating new groups
0%
Description
Add some explanation to the group slug page when someone is creating a group, so they understand how it affects the blog URL as well as the group URL.
Bold text represents suggested changes...
This slug has been automatically created from the group name you entered in step 1.
You can keep it, or change it to something more accurate. Sometimes it's useful to change your group slug to shorten your group URL and your group blog URL if you create one.

I'm going to mark this ticket as rejected, for the following reasons.
1) In #511, a number of pieces of the language surrounding group slugs was changed.
2) In #510, the group slug setting is moved out of the group creation process (for a number of technical reasons). In that same ticket, I moved the slug box from its own tab to the Group Details admin tab, with no gloss at all. (See the attached group-link.jpg file.) So there is no text to change.
3) Group blogs are (ar at least should be) handled separately from this. Instead of confusing group creators with information about group blogs, which is an optional feature handled on a separate tab and thus not really relevant to slugs, I'd rather fix the problem on the groupblog end. I have just opened #630, which will allow group admins to manually select their group blog domain at the time of blog creation (rather than having it autogenerated).
