True, so much easier, but they'd prefer human readable URL over an
unmemorable digit. One thing I love about bricolage is that you can do it

You are right, Apache was fine with that URL. The problem was with an
unintentional recursive call I made in a template that resulted in an
infinite loop. The contributor page previews fine now.
