It's been stated here before that one should not put the wiki directly under the root of your site, like "http://www.mysite.com/ WikiWord", but rather have something else in-between, like "http:// www.mysite.com/wiki/WikiWord".
I forget the reason for this, and wonder if that reason holds true for a hack I just implemented. I have Apache set up to go to Error.php upon encountering a missing page, which contains the following:
<html><head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=/wiki/<?php echo basename ($_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL']) ?>"> </head><body></body></html>
This effectively means that a URL "http://www.mysite.com/WikiWord" will be redirected to "http://www.mysite.com/wiki/WikiWord".
Is this a bad thing? Should I just throw up a generic error page instead?
