This all seems kind of redundant... take out all the aliases and rename the directory from "w" to "wiki".
Not at all. It's actually a very nice way to "clean" the URL without using the slow and problematic rewrite module. note the last Alias command that does the trick.
the only drawback is that the wiki pages namespace will have to be under /wiki and not directly at the root (breaks the Alias mechanism I think, needs to be figured out)
