Talk:Slug (publishing)

Restricted to newspapers?
Why is this definition restricted to newspapers? The newmediajournalism.com link describes a usage of the word that is very common in web publishing and applies to all kinds of URLs, not only print media related. All semantic URLs should contain a slug of the page title. For the lemma, I would find Slug (publishing) more to the point than Slug (production). --87.162.38.201 (talk) 11:54, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the comments – good points both! I have accordingly:
 * Changed article name to Slug (publishing)
 * Included a link to Slug (web publishing), the use on the web
