Ah, those should be replaced with proper routes. Ie, adding things like:
map.connect('/page/{action}/{title}'....)

No reason to take the controller arg since it specifies it.

This is no longer the default behavior. Not only is the default to not 
auto-assign the vars, but its also not the default to allow access to 
attributes that don't exist on the tmpl_context (c obj). So the QuickWiki 
should be updated to assign the needed variables to the 'c' object in the 
controller.

Thanks for helping out!
