I think this is the more canonical place for stuff like this these days!
It's nice to be able to just say the short name when calling `render`.
Here's the answer I looked up about it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9892081/107415
My immediate motivation is that I'm looking at creating more About
pages, and thinking about where to put them; I think maybe we trash the
`StaticController`, move these partials out to here, and move terms
into a new `AboutController`?
Just sharing this out to gather info, since this might be coming kinda
soon!
I also moved the announcement higher up in the template, because it
gets broken on the user lists page which uses floats quite a bit for
the site header—and tbh I feel like this is better anyway lol.
Lots of scary bugs were being caused by the fact that the possibly-duplicate Neopets ID
was being treated as an SWF's real primary key, meaning that a save meant for object swf
number 123 could be saved to biology swf number 123. Which is awful.
This update gives SWFs their own unique internal ID numbers. All external lookups still use
the remote ID and the type, meaning that the client side remains totally unchanged (phew).
However, all database relationships with SWFs use the new ID numbers, making everything
cleaner. Yay.
There are probably a few places where it would be appropriate to optimize certain lookups
that still depend on remote ID and type. Whatever. Today's goal was to remove crazy
glitches that have been floating around like mad. And I think that goal has been met.
