[support] permalink format

[Jamie Holly]

It's reporting the canonical link in the source as /planetmath, but 
going to node/XXXX is the default Drupal way. You can prevent that by 
installing the global redirect module.

If you're using a field to generate the permalink, that field has to be 
populated when the node is first saved so Pathauto can generate the 
alias and save it in the database. Pathauto only updates alises on 
entity updates (node, user, etc.) when that entity is updated through 
the controller. So changing a field directly won't change the path. Also 
you can adjust how Pathauto functions when aliases do change on the 
settings page.
