Am hosting the 0.17.17 server on Linux.
If you type a wrong command, you get this helpful message:

/wrongcommand
Unknown command "wrongcommand" type /h or /help for more help about commands.

Now, one would assume that /h and /help is the identical command and /h is just a shortcut, but this isn't true, and it is pretty confusing

/h
Type /h <command> to get details of it.
Available commands are: /help /whisper /shout /reply /command /measured-command /silent-command /players /kick /ban /bans /unban /admins /promote /demote /color /evolution /screenshot /time /version /purge /clear /mute /unmute /mutes /ignore /unignore /ignores /config /toggle-heavy-mode /perf-avg-frames /open /alerts /mute-programmable-speaker /seed /whitelist /banlist /permissions /server-save /swap-players /delete-blueprint-library /toggle-action-logging /editor /admin /cheat /unlock-shortcut-bar /toggle-rockets-sent-gui

/help
- Server console commands.
/quit - Terminates the server cleanly.
/save <name> - Saves the current game with the specified name.

This might be a side-effect of the restructure of how command aliases are handled -- it used to be that all commands that share a help string would alias to each other, but that is no longer the case.

I can change the /help /h to show the same thing but it almost seems like it's better to have it be the 2 different results here. One is the help for the server interface - and only the server interface - and the other is the generic command help system that the runtime game will generate.

For now, I'm going to leave this as is.

Why not /h server or /help server instead of /help being server.
