Currently the edit forms and other things are accessed by a URL
similar to the one for viewing pages, but with an added query string:
..wiki.phtml?title=Name&action=edit vs. ..wiki.phtml?title=Name.
It might be easier to play nice with bots and indexers if we change
the non-viewing URLs to something entirely different, say
..edit.phtml?title=Name, ..special.phtml?title=Name, etc. This
might make it easier to use robots.txt to exclude things, for
example, since some bots apparently don't listen to meta tags the
way they should.
On the other hand, it would break whatever tools already depend on
the old URLs, like Magnus's offline reader, etc. Do the techies
think this might be worth the hassle?
