Should we do this or not. It changes the way mediawiki behaves but I
think it is a decision that should be made by this team, not
infrastructure.

Can someone briefly say like 3 potential positives and negatives of
making the change versus not making the change?
Then, hopefully the right answer becomes obvious.

Positives:
1. No confusion between Artwork/ and Artwork, they become one in the
same, just not within the wiki -- and so when people post a link like
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/ to a mailing list it goes to
the right place
2. No pages will be allowed to end in slashes
3. More URL consistency
4. *And* if you really want to go to a page ending in a slash, you can
add a # at the end of the URL.
Negatives:
1. No pages will be allowed to end in slashes
2. Umm... I can't think of any more

negatives:
1) If there are any pages with and without a /. One of them will never be
seen again.
2) unforseen. I'm not aware of others doing this, its not the 'mediawiki
way' Truth is we don't know what will happen. Its a risk, I'm not sure
its very big though.

I've seen very very few websites that use the concept of pages under other
pages (read: slashes) anyway. It has steered toward the concept that we
have directories. Ugh.

I would vote for making this change. It is terribly annoying that I have
to remove a slash to get the page I want.

I vote +1, based on the rest of this thread. Make the change.

Implemented. Some cached pages will need to timeout but it's more or less
up and ready.
