| - | No bug tracker that I know of (GitHub, GitLab, Bugzilla, Mantis, Trac, RedMine, Phabricator, etc.) dumps the title into the items' URLs. That's just cruft, visual noise that nobody can re-type from memory or when """"shouted across the room during a hackfest or by a coworker in the next cubicle"""", and SEO doesn't matter as much for tracker items (they are not the same intended usecase as wiki pages and such). The current behavior makes for ludicrously long URLs whenever you paste them somewhere, or in the source code of wiki pages, which is annoying. |

Whenever someone changes the title of a tracker item/ticket, it changes the URL, which means you are breaking everybody's browser bookmarks.--- |
