When you do a search on Wikipedia or click on a link, the returned URL looks like http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?Poker If somebody likes this page and links to it, then in principle that should increase our standing with Google. But Google doesn't like CGI links. It would be better if the wiki script always returned links of the form http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Poker (actually, I would have prefered http://www.wikipedia.com/Poker, but that's too late now).
Is the source code of our wiki perl script available somewhere?

Yes, this change should be made immediately. If it doesn't happen within 48 hours, please remind me.
