Answers.Text: Thank you so much. So you're saying that CiviCRM has a routine that checks for both cases and renders accordingly, correct? But still, wouldn't it be more logical if [cms.root] and the other variables were listed identically across the interface for consistency's sake?

Body: <p>Wordpress 5.0.3</p>
  
  <p>CiviCRM 5.9.0</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking at the help pop-ups compared on two pages. (The text in the black box in the two images)</p>
  
  <p>I've got Path Variables on the Upload Directories page:
  <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/ZguqG.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/ZguqG.jpg" alt="Path Variables - Upload Directories Page"></a></p>
  
  <p>I've got URL Variables on the Resource URLs Page:
  <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/mjvEQ.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/mjvEQ.jpg" alt="URL Variables - Resource URLs page"></a></p>
  
  <p>They are supposed to be the same variables: [cms.root], [civicrm.root] and [civicrm.files], yet on the former page, the variables have no slashes. On the latter page, they <em>do</em> have slashes. I suspect the one <em>without</em> slashes is correct, because the Extensions Directory for both uses [civicrm.files]/ext/ and had already been set that way.</p>
  
  <p>Before I make any mistakes, these are the settings I have on Resource URLs <em>now</em>:</p>
  
  <p><strong>CiviCRM Resource URL:</strong> wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/</p>
  
  <p><strong>Image Upload URL:</strong> wp-content/plugins/files/civicrm/persist/contribute/</p>
  
  <p>These are what I should probably change them to:</p>
  
  <p><strong>CiviCRM Resource URL:</strong> [civicrm.root]/</p>
  
  <p><strong>Image Upload URL:</strong> [civicrm.files]/persist/contribute/</p>
  
  <p>Please confirm.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible this a minor bug?</p>

  Wordpress 5.0.3
  
  CiviCRM 5.9.0
  
  I'm looking at the help pop-ups compared on two pages. (The text in the black box in the two images)
  
  I've got Path Variables on the Upload Directories page:
  [![Path Variables - Upload Directories Page](https://i.sstatic.net/ZguqG.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/ZguqG.jpg)
  
  I've got URL Variables on the Resource URLs Page:
  [![URL Variables - Resource URLs page](https://i.sstatic.net/mjvEQ.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/mjvEQ.jpg)
  
  They are supposed to be the same variables: [cms.root], [civicrm.root] and [civicrm.files], yet on the former page, the variables have no slashes. On the latter page, they *do* have slashes. I suspect the one *without* slashes is correct, because the Extensions Directory for both uses [civicrm.files]/ext/ and had already been set that way.
  
  Before I make any mistakes, these are the settings I have on Resource URLs *now*:
  
  **CiviCRM Resource URL:** wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/
  
  **Image Upload URL:** wp-content/plugins/files/civicrm/persist/contribute/
  
  These are what I should probably change them to:
  
  **CiviCRM Resource URL:** [civicrm.root]/
  
  **Image Upload URL:** [civicrm.files]/persist/contribute/
  
  Please confirm.
  
  Is it possible this a minor bug?

  Its not a bug, adding extra '/' won't make any difference. The variables shown Directories and Resource URL forms have same naming conventions however they are rendered in different way for each form.
  
  ```
  CiviCRM Resource URL: [civicrm.root]/
  
  Image Upload URL: [civicrm.files]/persist/contribute/
  
  ```
  
  Your Settings looks fine.
  
  Cheers
