Re: Wiki Editors ending up on MediaWiki Long URL instead of MediaWiki Short URL

Hi Patrick,

You can use the rewrite engine[0], provided by server softwares. Like
Apache server has mod_rewrite module[1] which allows to use .htaccess file
in web root directory.

If your wiki already has a short url feature then it is already using a
rewrite engine. You just need to add one more rewrite rule for editing the
URL pattern.
