I thought most software apps that store and manage content make use of mod_rewrite to create clean urls. Drupal, , joomla, wordpress, etc. have that setup. It's the default in drupal and in wordpress it is configurable. I didn't realize it was a hack. I use a shared host so when it worked in other apps, I didn't have to do anything really. Sorry, I'm a bit new to mediawiki. I'm reading a couple books on it. The jump in and do approach wasn't so effective I found. I was asking questions that just seemed to get ignored or hmm. for anwsers... I suppose that was the reaction to my many questions. Thanks, Bruce

Hello all, Is there a way to get Clean URLs for a mediawiki site? I did a search for this and found one listing that was rather complicated in terms of what it was describing. I wonder if there is an extension that does this more easily. Thanks, Bruce

An extension would sound more hackish to me, but basicly, an easy manual to go with would be http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/wiki/Page_title_--_no_root_ac...
- I've used this method a lot, and had a high success level with it. For
more methods, have a look at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL
