"Reset slug" description

It seems like it would be a good idea to put a description of what the "Reset slug" checkbox does underneath it on the deck editing page, because it's not exactly intuitive and I suspect a lot of users have no idea what it does.

I'm nearly positive it has something to do with Rocket-Powered Turbo Slug .

ThatBlueMage nailed it. All it does is reset the slug name of the deck.
The server used to do it automatically, after a few hours, but something happened to that automated process, so now if we want to change it, we have to do it manually.
Of course, it could still be automated, just take longer than normal.

I believe that there was an update a while ago that intentionally made them not change, for linking popular decks or something to that tune.

Keeps links to decks from becoming dead if the name is changed.

ThatBlueMage, it's pretty straightforward as long as you already know what a slug is, but I don't think it's especially obvious what that is. Plus, clicking it to try to figure out what it does isn't very effective, as it's pretty easy to overlook that the URL has changed and you could unintentionally break any links to the deck.
It's not really a big deal, but I thought it might help some people out.

Does changing the slug affect links to deck in folders and such??

I have never heard of this feature before, however I can only assume that it resets the slug (the last bit of the URL) of that particular deck.
Seems pretty straightforward.
