Deadline slug creation: check the route before publishing

Under a deadline, choose a short descriptive slug, inspect how the tool normalized Unicode and punctuation, and confirm the route is unused. Preview the final URL and click it after publishing. If you are replacing an existing page, preserve the old URL through a redirect rather than silently changing it. Avoid a slug that is technically valid but misleading or reserved by the application. A quick route check can prevent a hard-to-fix broken link.
