LDRAW Wiki URLs - Steffen - 2018-04-02

The LDRAW Wiki URLs are somewhat ugly, here is an example:

http://wiki.ldraw.org/index.php?title=BFC

Much nicer would be the syntax

http://wiki.ldraw.org/wiki/BFC

Wikipedia does it the same way, see for example

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDraw

This can be achieved by some simple adjustments on the MediaWiki server, see here the official documentation:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL

Can we get this "beautification" for our LDRAW Wiki?

This is now implemented.
