Hello, Alexis. Thank you for your feedback.

I am not so skillful in writing scripts; yet I could not make the ShortURL work, nor even make a workable copy of existing skin "Vector". So, I modify "Vector"; you may look at the result at http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/t The most of space is reserved for the original text, and only narrow strips at the top and at the left are occupied by the menu.
I'm sorry to tell you that your skin is unreadable in Firefox 21 on ubuntu 12.04: the first letter(s) of each line of each menu is (are ?) out of the frame. It looks as if you're using negative absolute positionning (e.g. "left: -38px;") on the menu ...
Yes, namely -38px. How do you count these pixels? I change it to -28px; now, looking with Safari, I see few millimeters unused at left. Could you visit http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/t again, does it look better?
As for ShortURL, it seems to be working more or less on your test wiki ..
?? If I try to open http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/Main_Page or http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/k/Main_Page i.e., without to mention "index.php/", the answer is "Not Found" So, I would say, the ShortURL does not work at all. The problem is that I do not understand explanations at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ShortUrl
but you seem to have something wrong in the template $wgShortUrlTemplate.
At the end of LocalSettings.php I have line $wgShortUrlTemplate = "http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/k"; I expected this to enable the short URL http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/k/Main_Page but this does not happen. What shoudd I type there instead of $wgShortUrlTemplate = "http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/k"; ?
For instance: http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/2 is a ShortURL that redirects correctly to http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Test
Well, how to make it to work, if I skip index.php/ in the URL?
Likewise http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/1 redirects to the Mediawiki:Sidebar
it seems, and http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/3 to http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Test1
on each of these pages there is a link "Short URL" in the toolbox. That link is messed up though.
How to access the toolbox to add the ShortUrl there?
.. something might have to be fixed in $wgShortUrlTemplate. The Main page does not seem to have that Short URL link,
but I don't know if it's a bug or a feature of this extension (Main Page has its own very short url as http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php )
Maybe re-run populateShortUrlTable.php ?
I found ... q/extensions/ShortUrl and I type from the command line: php populateShortUrlTable.php
It answers: 4 titles done Done
But this does not affect anything, again I see message "Not Found". May be, one day someone rewrites the instruction at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ShortUrl indicating, how to say to the software, that I want http:/mizugadro.mydns.jp/k/Test1 mean http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Test1 and similar for other pages..
