One reason this is unlikely is that to keep web crawlers out of our interactive & dynamic areas we need to have distinct URL prefixes for robots.txt.
I understand. I didn't think of this. I guess that means we have to have something between the domain name and the article title, and it can't just be a double-slash, so it has to be at least /w/ or something.
So how about this:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/Article_title Use /w/ for pages that can be crawled.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/z/Article_title;history Use /z/ for pages that must not be crawled.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/Article_title;history would redirect to http://en.wikipedia.org/z/Article_title;history
- http://en.wikipedia.org/z/Article_title would redirect to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/Article_title
What do you think? :-)
