Description
If there's a group foo
and you try to create another group foo
, your new group will have a slug like foo-43983498
- we append a random number to the end. See groups_check_slug()
. This is terrible.
We should:
- Increment (
-2
,-3
, etc) instead of using a random number. This is much friendlier. - Add something to the UI that warns the user about the conflict and urges them to choose another name. (This should probably be a separate ticket.)
