[Mediawiki-l] dmoz pagerank and url rewriting

I'm not a specialist, but if you use firefox and a google pagerank
plugin, you've surely noticed sometimes this little thingy, yellow and
blue which appears on some websites. I'm told it is meant to say that
the site was accepted in the DMOZ directory.

I've just noticed that many of mediawiki users are already in the dmoz,
but the plugin doesn't show it. I guess this is caused by the url
rewriting habbit in use among the mediawiki community.

1) Am I right about these suppositions ?
2) Has someone found a way to keep the redirection for the pages, but
have at least on the welcome page, the dmoz signal?

As a conclusion, I should say it is not a big deal, and google pagerank
are not so much of an important matter. Nevertheless, if I can make my
site any better for directories, and engines that's always a good thing.

Thanks for your reactions and I hope, hints.
