Yes, namely -38px. How do you count these pixels?
using Firebug extension of Firefox
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?
It looks alright now in firefox, but in chrome it is overflowing on the main text area.
You shouldn't rely on absolute negative positioning for this.
I would suggest to use margins/padding instead and maybe (as little as possible) browser-specific tweakings.
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.
Oh ... you're making a confusion between the *extension* "Short URL" ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ShortUrl ) which does *not* do that and the *URL rewriting* scheme for short URLs as explained in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL
Granted, the naming are very confusing if you don't already have some knowledge about URL rewriting and URL shorteners.
what the extension does is making available URLs like http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/1 that points to a specific page
more exactly http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/$1 with '$1' being a code in base-36 (so made of sequence of characters in the ranges [0-9] and [a-z])
That way, you have a so-called "Short URL" to pages with long title. So http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/My_extremely_very_uber_long_title_for_...
is replaced by 'http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/1fg5z, for instance.
It's an URL shortener service like https://goo.gl/ . See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_shortening for more information on this.
but if what you want is to remove the index.php so that http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/My_Page_Title becomes http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/My_Page_Title, then you need to follow the instructions at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL
which, in summary, is an apache rewriting rule of the URL that says "http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/My_Page_Title" redirects to "http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/My_Page_Title".
Hope it helps.

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..
