Mark, I test compatibility of version 1.21.0rc5
with the ShortUrl extension.
It seems to fail, although the failure may be also
due to my misunderstanding of the instruction at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ShortUrl
The installation pretends to be successful, see
http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:Version
However, I cannot find the place to indicate the desirabe shorturl:
Page
http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl
seems to be empty, and the instructions
Usage
When installed redirects are available under Special:ShortUrl/<base36>.
Links to redirects can be found in the Toolbox and under the heading
(javascript only)
Configuration
(Optional) Run populateShortUrlTable.php maintenance script. Fills the
shorturl database table with entries for all namespace/title parts of all
currently existing articles.
Set $wgShortUrlTemplate to the template of the path for generating short
URLs. $1 is replaced with the actual short url id.
do not correspond that I see at the installation:
1. Page Special:ShortUrl/<base36> is absent.
2. There is no ShortUrl in the Toolbox, nor links to redirect.
3. The shorturl database does not appear.
4. There is no $wgShortUrlTemplate in the LocalSettings.php , nor $1.
5. In directory maintenance, there is no script populateShortUrlTable.php
Consider to check this before to release the version.
