It's annoying to use the common subreddit syntax of `/r/foo` and be told you
can't do that. We've already been normalizing this in a few places, but now we
should be accepting `/r/foo` or `r/foo` everywhere and silently stripping that
to just plain ol' `foo` for the rest of the code.
Here are the validators I found doing some sort of subreddit name check, and
where they're used:
- VSubredditName
* multi.py
+ PUT_multi_subreddit - add a subreddit to a multi
- VAvailableSubredditName
* api.py
+ POST_site_admin - create or configure a subreddit
- VMultiPath - already requires /r/
* multi.py a bunch of places.
- VSubredditList - already doing this
- VSRByName
* preferences.py - stylesheets everywhere
* api.py
+ POST_compose - when sending a PM from a subreddit
* multi.py
+ GET_list_sr_multis - getting a subreddit's multis
+ GET_multi_subreddit - get data about a subreddit in a multi
+ DELETE_multi_subreddit - remove a subreddit from a multi
- VSRByNames
* api.py
+ GET_subreddit_recommendations
+ POST_rec_feedback - recommender feedback
One important thing to note: we don't want to just modify
`Subreddit.is_valid_name()` because that's used in lower-level code, like when
creating a `Subreddit` object, and that could cause all sorts of problems.
