Hi there! I i changed the name of my world and also my username but both are still in the url when i create subsequent articles and stuff. Example being https://www.worldanvil.com/w/starheart3A-beyond-minfilia-trickgrayson/a/dravanian-species

Specifically the "starheart3A-beyond-minfilia-trickgrayson"

Currently the world is named "Trailblazer's Guide Beyond Minfilia" and my account is named "princess tricky"

Steps to Reproduce

I have edited the name of the world and my profile username through the settings and the url is not updating.

Operating System

Windows

Browser

Firefox

Related Entity

As mentioned earlier this is affecting the entire world regardless of article. Most of the articles are in private however I've made the home page public as well as one article. Here are the links.

Please let me know if I need to make everything public for you to help.

I'm experiencing something similar with my world... In my case the world name change seems to be reflected but my username hasn't been, and it's preventing me from sharing the link with my players.

Hello, this is a more complex issue and we will take care of it in time, meanwhile I will see what i can do with your specific case independently of a permanent fix within this week

I have manually changed your world slug to reflect the new username and a new fix will be deployed soon
