Advantage over action=raw?

Out of curiosity, what's the advantage of this extension over using action=raw on a page?

Some wikis have their robots.txt set up to disallow anything that starts with /w/ so this gets around it. Other than that, the only benefit is that it gave me an opportunity to learn about creating special page extensions.

Ah, alright. Thanks for pointing that out, plus you did a good job making it. :)
