[Mediawiki-l] Google accesses through Special:RecentchangesLinked

[Rene Bakker]

I noticed that the Googlebot does not use the exact article path from 
the sitemap files but uses Special:RecentchangesLinked instead to access 
the articles. So instead of /www.mysite.com/wiki/My_Article/, Google 
uses /www.mysite.com/wiki/Special:RecentchangesLinked/My_Article/. Why 
is that?

I ran into this because I disallowed //wiki/Special:RecentchangesLinked/ 
within robots.txt. This was to prevent the bots from indexing all 
revisions.
