# Slug generation {#sluggeneration}

Every poll got an own **slug**, which

-   is based on entered title (when listing is allowed)
-   is randomly created (when listing is disallowed)

## Good to know {#good-to-know}

-   When listing setting of poll gets updated during edit, also the slug gets updated.
-   t3oodle uses an event listener for this (`UpdatePollSlugListener`), listening to `CreateAfterEvent` and
    `UpdateBeforeEvent` of the PollController. See [Events](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/t3oodle:events@3.0) for further info.
-   When a slug wouldn't be unique, the poll uid is appended.
