What you are trying to do isnt feasible. Just use re-write so you dont
break incoming links, and use the new format everywhere else. It is a
fairly common tactic that websites use

If I use re-write rules, I will be able to forward
/fun/topic.asp to /Topic.
But when I use [[Topic]] in new MediaWiki pages, it will be /Topic and not be
/fun/topic.asp.
I can't achieve URL consistency.
What I want is a custom url for every page. If I use [[Topic]] it should still point to
/fun/topic.asp.
Thanks,
Castor

Right, that seems like a good solution. Google htaccess rewrite rules or something
similar for your webserver if you don't use Apache.

I would like to convert my existing website of
6000+ pages to Mediawiki. I
am willing to add content to a fresh installation of Mediawiki manually,
but I want to retain the old urls. I understand that Mediawiki uses its own
style of URLs. Is it possible that I can set a per-page url for every
mediawiki page?
Eg:
www.mysite.com/fun/topic.asp
When I create a new page mediawiki creates
www.mysite.com/Topic, but I
want to set the url to (
www.mysite.com/fun/topic.asp)
