Another advantage of long URLs, is for such corner case when the sysop team does not know about URL rewriting and has more important things to do than figuring it out. I have seen such cases in small company.
That's not really even an advantage. That's just not knowing how to configure your own software. The point is moot anyways, because the goal of the Short URL building tool is to make it so that you don't need to know. You just tell it where your wiki is. Tell it what path you want. And it'll guess your server setup, environment, and generate the config you need. You just then setup that config and poof.
