Thanks, that's what I suddenly just realised too (hence the smacking myself
in the forehead) :P
So I'm guessing the best thing to do is either contact the owners of the
sites with bad links and getting them to change them (if the sites are
still updated) is my best option.
Thanks for your help!

You said:

They are and all short URL work fine. I am guessing from your original
statement, you changed directories.
http://www.knitting-and.com/wiki/Main_Page and any short URL I browse
to.
I believe you're thinking wiki/index.php?.... instead of
w/index.php?....
Since you changed your directory from /wiki to /w, the long URLs are
now...
http://www.knitting-and.com/w/index.php?title=Main_Page and it works
just fine. /wiki is a rewritten fake directory now, it doesn't really
exist.
If you call /wiki/index.php?.... whatever, anything after the ? is
truncated and index.php shows up as a 404, uncreated article. This
behavior is correct. Rewrite is parsing and preforming correctly as far
as I can tell. Even &action=edit shows me the source of a page.
