How do slugs work?

[ShutdownRepo]

I have a space with multiple categories, one of which is "Active Directory", and the slug keeps reverting to "a-d" while I want it to be "ad". I change it every once in a while but GitBook seems to keep reverting it, and I can't find where the slug is set. I have my space synced with a GitHub repo and there is no occurrence of the "a-d" slug in this repo. Is there any way to stop GitBook changing it, or maybe understand better how it works?

Hey @ShutdownRepo thanks for this, it's interesting.
I'm guessing this: https://www.thehacker.recipes/ad/movement is a space we are talking about?

The slugs for pages are set by clicking on rename

This should allow you to change the slug to what you need it to be.

Do you have a specific CR or commit to use as an example when this was overwritten so we can take a deeper look?

Yup, that's the space
And yes, that's where I edit the slug
I don't know exactly what make it change, hence my question, but basically, say I set the slug to "ad", sometimes I realize that the slug got re-set to "a-d", for a reason I don't know
Is the slug reflected somewhere in the .md structure ? /.gitbook/ ? Or something else
