What other wikis have and whether it hurts SEO is not important.

I understand that it's the standard, however, as in life itself, the standard tends to be deviated from/said in different ways all the time. I understand that there are so many characters and such that some feel a standard needs to be in place, but again standards get deviated from all the time and when standards are stated in different ways (all the same information and stuff is being portrayed, just in a different way) most of the time it isn't frowned upon because most understand that it is saying the same thing, just in a different way.

I never mentioned other wikis having this, what I said, had you read my comment, is that I had tried to propose similar things to other wikis and such, not that they had accepted them or already had them in place and whatever. also, how is it not important if it hurts SEO (the site I'm guessing)? if something were hurting my site/my business or whatever I would strive to try and fix it, to make it better, etc. that's just good business sense, if that makes any sense.
