Fix now... there have been many requests for this.

I have gone for this format:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Main_Page
->
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_Page

I've updated robots.txt so there may be a bit of search engine flux for 
a few days. Sitemap.xml updated.

Old URL continue to function.
