URLs + Friendly-URLs

  • URLs and Friendly-URLs for Guides, branches, Subjects, and pages should be all lower case.
    • All pages in your Guide should also have friendly-URLs.
  • ​Use hyphens (-) instead of underscores (_) in your URLs.
  • URLs are constructed logically and in a manner that is most intelligible to humans (when possible, readable words rather than long ID numbers)  For example: https://widener.libguides.com/identify-fake-news rather than: https://widener.libguides.com/c.php?g=814390
  • For course guides: the course abbreviation and number https://widener.libguides.com/bio-101-Smith
