The setup came from the referenced article in meta

What I'm trying to accomplish is to separate the article url's from
the script urls, so that I can keep googlebots and the like from going
where I don't want them to go via robots.txt.

Quoting the meta article:

"This method will put articles under www.mysite.com/wiki/articlename,
and everything else under www.mysite.com/w/index.php?whatever, just
like the WikiMedia sites."
