Null article path is evil (i.e. risky/dangerous); it

between wiki pages and server files/folders.
For example, try accessing the robots.txt or favicon.ico (for the
uninitiated, those are two rather crucial files that should be present
and accessible on any Web server):
http://docs.jquery.com/robots.txt
http://docs.jquery.com/favicon.ico
That will lead you to the respective wiki page, instead of to the file
you actually needed.
Ok. I buy that. I think it's a shortcoming of the system, but that's
for another discussion.
So, assuming I move everything to /wiki, and before I worry about
short urls, what is the best way to ensure that when someone types
just the domain name (
http://mydomain.com ) they load the wiki? an
htaccess redirect in the domain root? Seems like that might impact on
SEO maybe? Dunno, open to suggestions.

This obviously addresses those pages which belong in categories and/or
subcategories only.
This isn't really categories. I think you're searching some kind of
subpages (which you need to enable and may not do everything you expect
them to)
No, I am not talking about subpages (well, i don't think I am). If I
have a category:people and an article 'Joe Q Public' that belongs to
that category, i'd like the url to be /people/joe_q_public.
As someone else pointed out, this may become a problem if the article
belongs to more than one category though.
