   Hi,
   accidently I noticed that I can put any word after a category and there won't be any problem with the link.

   For example the correct link:
   http://ma.tt/category/review

   but I could also write
   http://ma.tt/category/coconut/review/
   or even
   http://ma.tt/category/coconut/cocktail/review/

   and it won't result in a broken link.

   Technically it would be duplicate content, wouldn't it?
   Any ideas how to solve this?

   googlebot doesnt just make up and then go to random urls.

   googlebot follows links.

   does that answer your question?

   ok, thanks. So it won't count as duplicate content.

   But still it's a bit strange that links can be changed this way, isn't it?

   For anybody who is interested ... there is a plugin that corrects this behaviour
