No, I believe what Wicket currently does is okay, but in web projects with wicket, when page versioning is a problem (e.g. because of the number apearing in the url, or any other issue with it), then it is commonly dealt with much too late. Too late means that application pages will already be fil

There's probably a particular way of how we (at my €day job) develop applications, but of all the problems our users report back to us, none of them involve confusion about the back button behaviour. Either our users don't know the back button exists, or they have become accustomed to not using it
