[fossil-users] Generated wiki links and name parameter?

2011-03-28 Thread Nolan Darilek
Why do Fossil-generated links to wiki pages include the ?name=pagename 
parameter when /wiki/pagename seems to work as well as /wiki?name=pagename?

Thanks.

/wiki/pagename does work just as well for wiki pages, but it doesn't handle
attachments -- you could use a different URL prefix for that, if you wanted,
like wiki-attachment.  There's always a tradeoff between URL path
components and named parameters; it's a matter of taste.  Personally, I'd
say that if you have exactly one required parameter that has a path
structure, then using the URL path might make sense, like with doc links,
but there's no clear-cut rule that says when you should choose one
representation or the other.  Using parameters makes it clear that */wiki is
a service.
