Yes, namely -38px. How do you count these pixels?
using Firebug extension of Firefox
I change it to -28px; now, looking with Safari, I see few millimeters unused at left. Could you visit http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/t again, does it look better?
It looks alright now in firefox, but in chrome it is overflowing on the main text area.
Thank, perhaos, I shold narrow a little bit the frame for teh main text. Anyway, it will be signifivantly wider than the default.
You shouldn't rely on absolute negative positioning for this.
Then I shall have to understand, how does it work!
I would suggest to use margins/padding instead and maybe (as little as possible) browser-specific tweakings.
I shall consider..
As for ShortURL, it seems to be working more or less on your test wiki ..
?? If I try to open http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/Main_Page or http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/k/Main_Page i.e., without to mention "index.php/", the answer is "Not Found" So, I would say, the ShortURL does not work at all.
Oh ... you're making a confusion between the *extension* "Short URL" ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ShortUrl ) which does *not* do that and the *URL rewriting* scheme for short URLs as explained in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL
Yes.
Granted, the naming are very confusing if you don't already have some knowledge about URL rewriting and URL shorteners. what the extension does is making available URLs like http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/1 that points to a specific page more exactly http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/$1 with '$1' being a code in base-36 (so made of sequence of characters in the ranges [0-9] and [a-z]) That way, you have a so-called "Short URL" to pages with long title. So http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/My_extremely_very_uber_long_title_for_...
is replaced by 'http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/1fg5z, for instance. It's an URL shortener service like https://goo.gl/ . See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_shortening for more information on this. but if what you want is to remove the index.php so that http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/My_Page_Title becomes http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/My_Page_Title, then you need to follow the instructions at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL which, in summary, is an apache rewriting rule of the URL that says "http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/My_Page_Title" redirects to "http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/My_Page_Title". Hope it helps.
Not yet. I followed the instructions; the new setting redirects from http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/Main_Page to http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/k/Main_Page but still does not show the page, it says Not Found The requested URL /k/Main_Page was not found on this server.
Actually, I already tried to do shotrUrl in this way, earlier, and got similar messages, and I hoped, the extenstion can do the same job; but you explained that it is not the case..
