gollark: Pretty sure.
gollark: I too change the name of my site all the time.
gollark: I have this here:```server.use((req, res, next) => { res.locals.flash = req.flash next()})```and res.locals contains that when I console.log it in the handler... but apparently my template doesn't have `flash` available?
gollark: On an unrelated note it appears that I do not understand express.js locals.
