There *might* be, in theory. In practice I doubt that

articles starting with 'w/'.
I count 10 on
en.wiktionary.org:

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.
