6/23/2007: I used your .htaccess and then set $wgArticlePath = "$wgScriptPath/$1";. This way the forwarding works regardless of what directory the wiki is located in. In my case it was /wiki. --Jordan Mendler (jmendlerspam@spamuclaspam.spamedu)

12/02/2007: Method worked fine, using Jordan Mendler's modification to allow for my /wiki subdirectory. You should post this on mediawiki's Manual:Short URL page, as they do not have this solution listed and it seems simpler and possibly less bug-prone then other methods. --Adam Burley (AKA Bilby) (bilbyATdigitalcaveDOTorg)

2007-12-02 MW 1.11 seems to do something which breaks log-ins using the above method. I solved this once, but I'm not sure which specific change made the difference. Here's part of the LocalSettings from a MW 1.11 installation where logins work fine: <php>

1. 1. The URL base path to the directory containing the wiki;
   2. defaults for all runtime URL paths are based off of this.

$wgScriptPath = ""; $wgScriptExtension = ".php";

1. standard Woozle MW customizations

$wgScript = "$wgScriptPath/index.php"; $wgArticlePath = "/$1"; $wgUsePathInfo = false; </php>
