Approved extension title origin in search UI

I learned after getting extensions approved that the title of the card in the search dialog is taken from the repo name, if I’m not mistaken. For example, climate-action-kits/pxt-fwd-edu shows up as fwd-edu in the title of the card. There seems to be some string trimming happening to isolate the relevant segment of the repo path.

After sharing this with my team they asked me to change the repo names to get the desired title in the search UI. The extensions have already been approved with their existing paths. How should we go about this?

I was recommended to contact MakeCode team about this via support ticket #89407.

I was given a good suggestion! Duplicate the current extension repos, then submit a PR to change the approved URLs. This ensures the extensions remain approved during the change.
