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.

I have a question related to MediaWiki Short URLs. [1]

Short URLs are generally working very well. However, after wiki editors
edit an article, they end up on the Long URL. For example:

https://domain-name/w/index.php?title=Article&stable=0

Is it possible that after editing a wiki page editors end up the Short URL?

Kind regards,
Patrick
