<p>83.224.64.4: </p> <hr /> <div>=={{hide|navbar}}==<br /> {{web software|MediaWiki}}: [[MediaWiki customization|customization]]: [[shortening MediaWiki URLs]]{{sidebar|__TOC__}}<br /> ==Overview==<br /> There are (at least) two &quot;standard&quot; ways of prettifying MediaWiki URLs, documented [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eliminating_index.php_from_the_url here].<br /> <br /> There's also another way of doing it if you have access to httpd.conf or .htaccess. It's fairly tidy and quite flexible, though I don't know how much additional load it puts on the server (see brief discussion at the end).<br /> ==Using mod_rewrite==<br /> This is probably documented elsewhere, but this is what actually worked for me on a shared server where I couldn't modify httpd.conf.<br /> <br /> This assumes MediaWiki is installed in the root of the www pages.<br /> <br /> First, the .htaccess file needs to include:<br /> {{quoteon}}<br /> :</div>
