Great question and great suggestion! We need to redesign this. Currently it’s super confusing how we have all of the following:

- Goal slug: the name used in the URL (for technical reasons we don’t normally [let you](http://beeminder.com/premium "For now it's a premium perk to be able to change goal slugs") change this)
- Goal title: often the same as the slug but with spaces allowed
- Goal statement: meant to be a one-line statement of the goal
- Y-axis label: another place to describe what’s being measured
- Fine print: free-form text about the goal

We’re thinking of, for starters, merging goal statement with fine print. Like anyone who has a goal statement we’ll just prepend it as the first line of your fine print, and make the fine print a bit more prominent.
