A short, lowercase, hyphenated identifier used to name a record or page.
Definition
A slug is a short, lowercase, hyphen-separated identifier used to name a record, file, or page in a stable, URL-safe way. It is derived from a title or term by lowercasing the text and replacing spaces and punctuation with hyphens. In a glossary or dataset, each entry's slug serves as its unique key and often matches the filename that stores it.
