What to change
Slash handling belongs in the route convention, not in individual editors' preferences. Ask the supplier to document the chosen form and test the alternative against real nested pages. Align the server response, page declaration and owned links, while preserving a sensible experience for saved addresses. A small route matrix showing both variants makes the intended behaviour reviewable and exposes configuration differences between preview and production.
A worked example
Illustrative example
Illustrative test: Open both variants in separate fresh sessions and record their final addresses.
How to check the result
The variants follow the documented convention and internal links use the preferred form.
A mistake to avoid
Changing URL style without checking existing bookmarks can introduce avoidable breakage.
Your action checklist
Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
