Any reason that we explicitly ban pages from having
titles that look like URLs?
I was not involved in devloping the program, so I can not say whay
this choose was take, but I can think at least to good reasons why
such ban my be an interesting thing:
1) avoid advertisment vandalism (it is not difficult to imagine that
if such name where allowed, many web site would want an article with
the name of tehir URL - well actually they may stil want an article
with the name of thei web site of with the name of their URL with the
beginning http:// stripped)
2) Since [
http://www.example.com] is a standard way of inserting an
external link, a person who is to much used to insert internal link as
[[Foo]], may easely wrongly try to insert an external link as
[[
http://www.example.com]]. If link and page name like this were
allowed, the wiki will be full of such sort of links and pages.
