- jolmg 8y agoOk, yeah. It occurs to me that websites might want the whole path to be variable text, maybe user defined. This would also answer the question I've had for so long as to why Wikipedia chose to have /wiki/ before article titles in their URLs. I guess it was so that the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/robots.txt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/robots.txt did not collide with their robots.txt file. Would've been nice if that explanation were included in the RFC.
