Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately this yielded

A few things...I've found out that my server runs php as an apache
module so perhaps this should be taken into consideration. Also I
already have a line in my .htaccess file setting the RewriteEngine to On
as this command was necessary to get the permalinks working in
WordPress. I'm wondering if rewriting it for the Short URLs is redundant
or a mistake that is affecting the implementation of the Short URLs for
MediaWiki?
I have made eight or ten different changes to both the LocalSettings.php
and .htaccess. I have saved versions of some of these.
Then step down.
The first thing is to determine what you want to get.
Where fo you want your wiki, and where do you want WordPress.
Assuming you want to access the wiki at
http://lauraogrady.ca/wiki/
the line "RewriteRule ^wiki/*$ /cbwiki/index.php [L,QSA]" is right
but the line "RewriteRule ^/*$ /cbwiki/index.php [L,QSA]" which
redirects accesses to
http://lauraogrady.ca/ to the wiki will interfere
with you wordpress install.
If the wiki redirects you to
http://lauraogrady.ca/wiki/ and that's
where you want it to lice, don't change LocalSettings.php, even if
you're getting a 404.
Function of the .htaccess is to make accesses to the chosen short url go
to the index.php
