Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. How much hacking would MediaWiki on Wikimedia need for _jpg to be the default image page name and .jpg an alias for backward compatibility? That'd be really helpful in all sorts of ways
- on pretty much any website *not* running MediaWiki, something ending
".jpg" is going to be the image, not a text page.
I am not sure that the underscore is the most suitable character, because in MediaWiki it's interchangable with the space character.
Or whatever, as long as it isn't ending .jpg .
The type of the document should be determined by it's mime-type. If Google uses the web path "extension" (which is meaningless by the way, because that's a virtual path) instead of mime-type to determine whether the page should be indexed, that's amazing bug for Google.
Yes, it's an amazing bug for Google. It's also the way they do it.
