Change project links

banana439monkey

What I have seen throughout the community is Scratchers getting muted because they've tried to post project links and the filterbot thinks the ID's a phone number. This idea could mean changing the project IDs to something else. You can't have two projects with exactly the same name on one account. This is the idea: having links not to go to something like https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/104 - instead, https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/andresmh/Weekend - this idea could help many people like you and I.

Keep the old links but allow the user to set a custom link for the project
EDIT: Custom link example: scratch.mit.edu/p/(custom link) or /p/(user)/(custom link)
EDIT 2: Also allow for studios and users (/s/(custom link) and /u/(custom link))
EDIT 3: Allow the user to change the custom link whenever they want

Yes, it would make the ST's job harder if they were to change every project link

EDIT: Not custom link.

What if the user had 2 projects with the same name?
So, No Support

Don't no support based off the lack of knowledge.

Oh! Not to mention you can't have two projects with the same name. It automatically adds something like a -1 to the name (that's where Untitled-2 comes from)

you can't have that. say I had a project called “hi” - if I made another project called “hi”, it would turn into “hi-2” in reality.

EDIT: #ninja'd by sheep_maker - whoops. xD

EDIT 2: Also, if there were two projects with the same name on the same profile, I wouldn't be suggesting this

Semi support. I can see why it could be useful but I'm not sure it's worth the ST's time.

That's what Untitled-2 is for. Also, semi-support. This would be a nice feature, but I'm not sure it's worth the ST's time, as Sigton said.

I shall elaborate.
I wasn't meaning to change all the existing links, I was referring to the task of implementing the feature for custom links (which also may be hard to moderate).

But that would require a major changeso the architecture of the website.

Or are you thinking about the username changing thing?
