- File path
Special:Filepath is an important special page for linking. If you have uploads then Special:Filepath is the only way for bots and other 3rd party tools to reliably get a link to a media file. If we get rid of Special:Filepath we get rid of the one thing making a rewrite of the upload system and paths used a reasonable possibility.
We should just make http://my.wiki/wiki/Media:Foo.jpg redirect to the appropriate url; simple and effective. There's really no need for a special page for this. Although now that it's in, we can't really get rid of it... :-(
