Description Doug Schepers 2013-02-04 15:03:37 UTC 
URLs with a trailing slash are seen as separate page from their non-slash equivalents. Trailing slashes are usually the result of a typo or someone manually editing the URL (for example, to get to a parent page).

These should be the same resource:
http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/css/properties
http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/css/properties/

Apparently, the proper fix is to do this in Apache:
 RedirectMatch permanent ^/wiki/(.*)/$ /wiki/$1
