I thought most software apps that store and manage content make use of mod_rewrite to create clean urls. Drupal, , joomla, wordpress, etc. have that setup. It's the default in drupal and in wordpress it is configurable. I didn't realize it was a hack. I use a shared host so when it worked in other apps, I didn't have to do anything really. Sorry, I'm a bit new to mediawiki. I'm reading a couple books on it. The jump in and do approach wasn't so effective I found. I was asking questions that just seemed to get ignored or hmm. for anwsers... I suppose that was the reaction to my many questions. Thanks, Bruce
