Hi, I just submitted my website to a directory and got this warning: The URL you entered sent a redirect *Location: HEADER* response. Below are the redirect *Location: HEADER* responses sent by your Web server which the analyzer followed in the order received:
Redirect URL: *http://www.dummipedia.org/Main_Page*
I try to delete the redirect as follows by putting in the # symbol:
RewriteEngine On # RewriteRule ^[^:]*.(php|src|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|bmp|css|js|inc|phtml|pl|ico|html|shtml)$ - [L,NC] # RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f # RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d # RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]
I ended up not able to even access my website! Is it advisable for me to change now, after I have gathered quite a number of backlinks? I see most wikis do use a short name.

This is normal -- the wiki redirects you to the canonical URL of the main page.
If there is a strong reason to avoid it, you could hack up MediaWiki::initializeSpecialCases() in includes/Wiki.png to change when and how the title normalization redirections are done.
