Why Do Faa Image Links Keep Changing?

How come the numerical image number reference changes all the time and breaks your links?

Is there a wild-card you can substitute to keep your links updated?

I guess I don't understand the question and the links go nowhere

It a 'bug' with the system.

I noticed it the other day when testing out social counters for someone else.

When the system puts a '1' at the beginning of your url (it does this because there is another image with the exact same title and artist name, and it needs a unique url) then when you edit the image again, it swaps the '1' to a '2'. If you edit it again it swaps the '2' to a '1'. And so on...

You can 'fix' it by just re-editing your image, and just press the 'submit' button without changing anything.

There is no way to specify wildcards in urls.

actually it's not just the number that changes. It's also the number of - (dashes) they place between title and image#.
Now just to always remember to double edit... after of course I see how to fix everything I've already posted - yikes!
Any news on fixing this bug?
