I've never noticed a title being rewritten automatically when posting an article. Are you sure that's really a thing?

- pests 2y agoThere are some auto rewrite rules. Off the top of my head: numbers in the beginning are stripped, [pdf] or [video] can be added to the end, and one more I can't remember that gets stripped off beginning and can cause confusion. A pdf link to "5 Reasons To Do Things" will be "Reasons To Do Things [pdf]" for example.

- Tomte 2y ago„How“ at the beginning is stripped, leading to all these strange sounding „I <verb>“ submissions.
- TRiG_Ireland 2y agoThere was also an interesting article on assistive technology called "How Disabled People Use the Web", or something similar, which looked very silly with the "How" stripped.
- Tomte 2y agoYes. And the algorithm is really incredibly stupid, but dang is opposed to even small improvements (like showing the changed title on submission beforehand, like the „x characters to long“ message).
