I notice mediawiki creates some errors for the edit and history of pages when I try to create urls with a closing slash like this:
$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1/";
Also the article pages take a long time to load, which isn't the case without the closing slash.
This will send you into an infinite redirect loop on every page load, since you'll be trying to load eg "My Page/" instead of "My Page", but the canonical URL for "My Page/" is "/wiki/My_Page//" which tries to load "My Page//" which sends you to "/wiki/My_Page///" etc.
Any way to have this slash at the end of my urls and still avoid mentioned problems?
Hack around a lot with rewrite rules or hacked up code.
