Squiz Matrix automatically generates the page slug from the page title. However, it doesn't automatically eliminate characters that are undesirable in URLs.
Having this standard slugification feature will improve the quality of URLS and ensure slugs are clean and readable.
Converting text to lowercase and replacing spaces with hyphens should continue as normal.
This request is about removing other punctuation and symbols, specifically:
  • periods (.)
  • commas (,)
  • exclamation points (!)
  • at signs (@)
  • asterisks (*)
  • tildes (~)
  • dollar signs ($).
It would also be great if underscores (_) would automatically convert to hyphens (-).
