Thanks, that's what I suddenly just realised too (hence the smacking myself in the forehead) :P
So I'm guessing the best thing to do is either contact the owners of the sites with bad links and getting them to change them (if the sites are still updated) is my best option.
Thanks for your help!

The site is redirecting just fine.
You said:
I have recently moved my wiki from http://www.knitting-and.com/wiki to http://www.knitting-and.com/w and
want
the entries to still show at http://www.knitting-and.com/wiki
They are and all short URL work fine. I am guessing from your original statement, you changed directories.
http://www.knitting-and.com/wiki/Main_Page and any short URL I browse to.
I believe you're thinking wiki/index.php?.... instead of w/index.php?....
Since you changed your directory from /wiki to /w, the long URLs are now...
http://www.knitting-and.com/w/index.php?title=Main_Page and it works just fine. /wiki is a rewritten fake directory now, it doesn't really exist.
If you call /wiki/index.php?.... whatever, anything after the ? is truncated and index.php shows up as a 404, uncreated article. This behavior is correct. Rewrite is parsing and preforming correctly as far as I can tell. Even &action=edit shows me the source of a page.
