Unclear It is not clear what goes in the parentheses, what the clash rule checks, or where the labelled name appears.

What

The list of slash commands (commands you type starting with /) now has a way to tell apart commands whose short names clash. Such a command can be shown as its name followed by a distinguishing word in parentheses. The rule that decides which names count as clashing is now worked out each time the list is built, instead of being fixed in advance.

Why

This may change how some skills or commands are named or shown in menus when two of them would otherwise look the same.
