A slug is like an article abstract that journos use to summarize shit in production basically. In my newspaper days its what the journalists would use to sound cool when asking each other what they were doing and what about.

Edit: as for context in a Wiki I don’t know its intent or if it publishes or not. Wikipedia just has me on gastropods now.

I would presume this:

Okay, that makes sense. I guess I can just play around a little with editing it and see what results I get. Maybe I should be looking for some formatting instructions on another wiki somewhere….

Thanks!

Yeah it’s the URL of the wiki page. It should be relabelled to something less nerdy…

The wiki uses markdown, like posts and comments. Plenty of markdown guides out there on the web.

Thanks, yeah, I’ve picked up a little bit of markdown from reddit and now here.
