I count 10 on en.wiktionary.org: https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=w%2F&namespace=0 > To avoid future conflicts, we should > probably prefix private paths with an underscore as titles cannot start > with it (and REST APIs often use it for special resources). That would be better. But still, I think this is a bad idea. Essentially, putting Articles at the root of the domain mains hogging the domain as a namespace. Depending on what you want to do with your wiki, this is not a good idea. For insteancve, wikidata uses the /entity/ path for URIs representing things, while the documents under /wiki/ are descriptions of these things. If page content was located at the root, we'd have nasty namespace pollution. Basically: page content is only one of the things a wiki may server. "Internal" resources like CSS are another. But there may be much more, like structured data. It's good to use prefixes to keep these apart. -- daniel _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
