Here is my personal opinion. I don't expect many people to agree, but I would like it this way most.
I want the "edit" to be at the *end* of the URL, not somewhere in the middle. That makes it easiest to add to (or remove from) an existing URL. (I also want the "wiki" to go away. :) )
Hence, the article [[History]] would have:
http://en.wikipedia.org/History http://en.wikipedia.org/History/edit http://en.wikipedia.org/History/history
Article titles with a slash in them, such as [[History/edit]] if anyone ever wanted to create it, could be encoded using a double-slash:
http://en.wikipedia.org/History//edit http://en.wikipedia.org/History//edit/edit http://en.wikipedia.org/History//edit/history
This is less alienating than "%28" for parentheses or "%2C" for commas, but of course one could always use "%2F" for slashes for consistency.
URLs such as http://en.wikipedia.org/Pagename/subpage would then redirect to http://en.wikipedia.org/Pagename//subpage and you could still type a single slash as long as the subpage doesn't happen to be "edit", "history", or any of the other magic words.
Since these things are just URLs, I don't believe things like "/edit" need to be internationalised.
