Good.

MediaWiki works and it now already creates the kind of URLs, which you want to have.

Now update the .htaccess file. You might have such a file inside the folder wiki/. Does this file only contain your tests to set up short URLs? If so, remove it completely. Otherwise tell me, what's in it (apart from the short URL tests)! And then remove it anyway.

Create a new .htaccess file in the web root (= outside of the wiki/ folder) with this content:

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wiki/index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]
 * 1) uncomment this rule if you want Apache to redirect from www.domain.com/ to www.domain.com/Main_Page
 * 2) RewriteRule ^$ /Main_Page [R]
 * 1) Only do the following rewrite, if the requested file does _not_ exist
 * 1) do the rewrite

And then click a page, e.g. click the page tab at http://attwiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Welcome_to_ATTwiki.org.

Do you see your main page under the URL http://attwiki.org/Welcome_to_ATTwiki.org ?
