In Setup > Build Options > build_detail_format the default is set to LinkID.
My site uses rewrite rules to display static pages as dynamic. The setting above displays links as /Detailed/1234.php
If I change it to something like Title_LinkID i get /Detailed/Title_1234.php but /Detailed/1234.php still works. Infact, you can put anything you like in the URL, as long as it ends in the link number, and it still displays the page: /Detailed/typewhateveryoulike_1234.php
My question is, is there any way that you can force it to only use the preferred build_detail_format? As I changed it to a custom format Google now shows that all my links are duplicated.

Why does this happen in build_detail_format
