Thread:Project:Support desk/Optimal Short URL ruleset


 * MediaWiki 	1.20.3
 * PHP		5.4.12
 * MySQL 		5.5.29
 * Apache		2.4.3
 * Windows 7

Using Mediawiki as a personal wiki (that I might make available publicly sometime in the future), used some of the rewrite rules I've previously employed to activate short URLs for another wiki before I read the MW-Short URL/Apache manual. Mediawiki is in a different folder relative to document root (it's just the way the bitnami stack installed).

httpd.conf:

apps/mediawiki/htdocs/.htaccess:

LocalSettings.php:

Questions:

1. Are there any problems with using my ruleset compared to the recommended ruleset in the manual?

2. Are there any associated performance issues with the ruleset I employed? Are there optimal rulesets (performance-wise) that I should use instead?
