So you don't have to move your mediawiki install into some ./wiki folder BTW, to create redirects you can create an index.php in the old folder and in that index.php you use php function header(). Like header( "Location: http://www.mywiki.com" ); which is an instant redirect or header('Refresh: 5; url=http://www.mywiki.com'); which allow you to display some message (like "our url has changed, you will be redirected") during 5 seconds before redirection
