+            TODO
+            Previously the urls for the security practices and business functions were derived from the name. That worked until we had translations in other languages
+            because now strategy-and-metrics is going to be different in different languages. That way we will have multiple urls for each language. 
+            I changed the logic to use the filenames which are always in English. However, the security practice filenames are different from the practice names. 
+            Example - Requirements-driven Testing is in filename D-Requirements-Testing. Strategy and Metrics is in filename Strategy-Metrics, etc.
+            Using the practice filename as url is going to change and break existing links (url will be requirements-testing instead of requirements-driven-testing).
+            One of my suggestions is to change the filenames to be correct and derive the URL from there (see function get_original_eng_practice_name_from_filename). 
+            Other possibility is using some config file from the website repository that will tell us which practice/function from what URL should be served
+            or hardcoding the urls here. Until we made a decision I am going to use the filenames as URL and hardcode those URLs of practices that have difference between the filename and practice name.
