[Mediawiki-l] Different URL path for different namespace?

[Daniel Friesen]

It was a small project so my boss let me spend a few hours implementing
this.

MediaWiki 1.19 now has a few extra hooks that make altering the title
extraction pattern possible from extensions.
I added a NamespacePaths extension that should do what you want.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NamespacePaths

You should be able to backport the changes made in r94373 to your own
copy of MediaWiki and install the extension.
You'll have to patch one or two versions of MediaWiki with a small set
of hooks, but when you get to 1.19 you won't need to anymore.

For the .htaccess stuff, just rewrite things to your /index.php and the
REQUEST_URI extracting code will handle the rest.
