Hi @martinfinn,

This is related to the Sept 16 2023 Canvas release.  The release includes an enhancement where page links are retained when pages are renamed so that links in a course do not break when a page is renamed.  Basically, if you create a page named "hello", then rename it to "goodbye" and create a new page with the name "hello", that new page would have a url ending of /hello-#, because /hello is reserved to redirect over to /goodbye.  This might be the one downside to what is otherwise a very welcome change by most Canvas users.  I don't think there is a way to undo this, short of resetting the entire course and starting over again.

Hope this at least explains why this is happening, even though it may not resolve the issue of you wanting to remove the numbers form the URLs.
