I am not sure that the underscore is the most suitable
character,
because in MediaWiki it's interchangable with the space character.
Or whatever, as long as it isn't ending .jpg .
The
type of the document should be determined by it's mime-type. If Google
uses the web path "extension" (which is meaningless by the way, because
that's a virtual path) instead of mime-type to determine whether the
page should be indexed, that's amazing bug for Google.
Yes, it's an amazing bug for Google. It's also the way they do it.
