Well, there's http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Rewrite_rules and
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rewrite_rules on the meta-wiki
(which is where most MediaWiki-related documentation is to be found).
Then there's a whole ton of discussions and troubleshooting about it
in the archives of this list
(http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/ try using a
site-specific Google search) and who knows what else somewhere else.
But, as far as I know, mod_rewrite is just far too voodoo* for anyone
to have written anything "comprehensive" or "complete", let alone
"authoritative"; so, um, good luck! ;)
