Asp.Net Core Route is not working properly

I searched a lot of questions and no one seems to address my specific problem.

I was reading some tutorials and the [Route("Text")] is not working as in the tutorials.

So with this code: 

 public class AboutController
    {
        public string Copyright() {
            return "\u00a9 Copyright are the best";
        }

        public string Year() {
            return "2016";
        }
    }

I can go to localhost:xxx/about/copyright and localhost:xxx/about/year with no problems. However if I try adding [Route("what")] immediately before the declaration of AboutController I now can't navigate to localhost:xxx/what/copyright or localhost:xxx/what/year. However if I try this: 

 [Route("what/[action]")]
    public class AboutController
    {
        [Route("rights")]
        public string Copyright() {
            return "\u00a9 Copyright are the best";
        }

        public string Year() {
            return "2016";
        }
    }

I can go to localhost:xxx/what/year but not to localhost:xxx/what/rights(or localhost:xxx/what/copyright for that matter.

So, what am I missing?

When you add [Route("rights")] to Copyright(), that is interpreted as localhost:xxx/what/copyright/rights.

so using your last example:

 [Route("what/[action]")]//url is: localhost:xxx/what/someactionname
public class AboutController
{
    [Route("rights")]//url is: localhost:xxx/what/copyright/rights --since CopyRight() is the action
    public string Copyright() {
        return "\u00a9 Copyright are the best";
    }

    public string Year() { //localhost:xxx/what/year --since Year() is the action
        return "2016";
    }
}
