Can we add books included/show only/first watch/rewatch to the URIs for FanFare?
The most recent episode of Game of Thrones has identical URIs save for the post number. Given the size of these threads, it'd be really nice to be able to tell which thread I'm in by glancing at the address bar, rather than scrolling back to the top. We've already seen a couple "whoops" cases in the Show Only thread, and I think this could help.

Thank you, that is SO helpful.

On topic, should rewatches and first watches get tagged as such? Or is this more key for current shows with book and non-book threads where there could be confusion?

Yeah, I think any thread that has a special discussion type should have that type added to the URL. We won't likely have two active threads with the same title but different discussion types very often, but setting things up this way will help in case it comes up again. And the downside of having slightly longer URLs with more information in them doesn't seem like too much of a downside.

Is a "rewatch" thread generally assumed to have potential spoilers, and a "first watch" not?

Sorry, never mind, just noticed the giant MeTa about these labels.
