Rewrite in Mediawiki, remove index.php, .htaccess
5,495
Solution 1
This MediaWiki documentation does talk about .htaccess.
Solution 2
You can have clean URLs with the following step.
Install the wiki into http://localhost/w
and NOT into http://localhost/wiki
then Modify the following in LocalSettings.php after you have set it up:
$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";
In the ROOT directory place the following .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
## uncomment this rule if you want to redirect to http://localhost/wiki/Main_Page
# RewriteRule ^/$ /wiki/Main_Page [R]
## do the rewrite
RewriteRule ^wiki/?(.*)$ /w/index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]
Solution 3
Try the following code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ /mediawiki/index.php?title=$1&actions=$2 [L]

I've just installed Mediawiki on Apache and I want the URL should be:
localhost/Main_Page/ localhost/Special:Recent_Changes ...
instead of:
localhost/index.php/Main_Page/ localhost/index.php/Special:Recent_Changes
I've tried many times and in many ways but it still doesn't work. Any suggest for a "exactly" what to do, step by step. Mediawiki docs didn't talk about .htaccess. It had only Nginx and lighttpd.

MrWhite about 6 yearsAlthough, the MediaWiki docs appear to warn against setting a
title
URL parameter in the rewritten URL: "be sure to never include?title=$1
or something like it in the rewrite. Including a query will cause MediaWiki's built in handling to be overridden..." -
