Pages problem:Child categories require unique FURL

[Kirill N]

Hello,

I just stumbled upon a problem that each category requires a unique FURL. 

What I want to do is arrange my records by categories, and then divide those categories by year using child categories

And the my URLS would look like, for example

mysite.com/articles/topic-one/2015
mysite.com/articles/topic-one/2014 etc.

and

mysite.com/articles/topic-two/2015
mysite.com/articles/topic-two/2014 etc.

Except it isn't possible because I can only have one category with the FURL "2015", "2014" etc.

So my URLs would have to look like this, which isn't very pretty:

mysite.com/articles/topic-one/24_2015
mysite.com/articles/topic-one/25_2014 etc.

Can this be changed please?

There was a pretty heated debate about URL flexibility in Pages in the past with statements from Matt and developers such as Marcher who have dealt with this:

I'd suggest reporting that as a bug(maybe even a ticket)... if only for the fact 3.x allowed it, and that can't be a pretty upgrade 'issue' to have,
