What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Sidebar

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The sidebar for Temporal objects repeats the full object name ("Temporal.X") for every entry.

What did you expect to see?

I would expect the sidebar to have short entries, e.g. add() instead of Temporal.Duration.prototype.add().

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

This affects all Temporal objects, linked in the Temporal page's sidebar under Related pages.

Adding short-title should fix this.

Do you have anything more you want to share?

OK, but this is the JS convention. If we want to do this (which I'm +1), we need to do this for all pages.

Hello @caugner, @Josh-Cena I think I can resolve this issue by creating a script that will run and check each file, adding a short-title if it doesn't already exist. The script will do the following

1. Read all the docs
2. Extract metadata
3. Filter out the files that already have `short-title`
4. Extract the title
5. Convert it to a `short-title`
6. Insert it

We can also use regular expressions for extractions.

For now, let's only do that for class members (methods & properties). A regex replace sounds fine to me.
