I'm trying to create Help pages for a new site.  One of the things I have to enter is "URL slug:".  What is that exactly?

I looked to see how help was organized on another site.  For example, on the Outdoors site, Help gets you to "https://outdoors.codidact.com/help".  Clicking on the topic "List of topics that can be asked about here" gets you to "https://outdoors.codidact.com/help/scope".  Is the URL slug just the "scope" part, "/scope", the whole URL, something else?

I would have experimented, but it's not clear how, and even if, changes can be backed out or edited.  If I knew I could fix whatever mess I make, I'd bother you less.
