[MediaWiki-l] Painful Short-URL

Heiya,

this is painful for me.

There is a wiki accessible with the following logic:

"http://example.com/wiki/Main_Page"

When I edit I have:

"http://example.com/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit"

To get this magic running I have the following RewriteRules:

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L] RewriteRule ^/?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]

And in "LocalSettings.php":

$wgScriptPath = "/w"; $wgScriptExtension = ".php"; $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1"; $wgUsePathInfo = true; // true or false does not make a difference

Everything is cool until I dare to try accessing a page containing a special character, e.g. "http://example.com/wiki/So_ein_%C3%84rger" and end up in an indefinite redirect loop.

This wiki is a MW 1.26.2.

Any hint out there? Never encountered anything similar. Admittedly not my first wiki.

Thanks and cheers

Karsten
