Fun with URLs
I was looking through my AWStats statistics (which are no longer
public) and took notice of the large number of strange URLs that
people have tried in vain: those that generates a 404 Not Found error.
Lots of them look like they are part of some sort of silly hacking attempt
by a script kiddie, while others look like genue URLs for the WikiWikiWeb,
just missing the initial wiki/ prefix. So I’ve now setup redirection for
those URLs, so that people are directed to the TitleSearch page, showing a
search result for the URL they tried.
I hope this helps some people. –Martin Geisler
