It looks alright now in firefox, but in chrome it is overflowing on the main 
text area.

You shouldn't rely on absolute negative positioning for this.

I would suggest to use margins/padding instead and maybe (as little as 
possible) browser-specific tweakings.

Oh ... you're making a confusion between the *extension* "Short URL" ( 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ShortUrl ) which does *not* do that 
and the *URL rewriting* scheme for short URLs as explained in 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL

Granted, the naming are very confusing if you don't already have some knowledge 
about URL rewriting and URL shorteners.

what the extension does is making available URLs like 
http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/1 that points to a 
specific page

more exactly http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/$1 with 
'$1' being a code in base-36 (so made of sequence of characters in the ranges 
[0-9] and [a-z])

That way, you have a so-called "Short URL" to pages with long title. So 
http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/My_extremely_very_uber_long_title_for_a_page_so_long_that_you_cannot_even_think_about_tweeting_it

is replaced by 'http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/1fg5z, 
for instance.

It's an URL shortener service like https://goo.gl/ . See 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_shortening for more information on this.

but if what you want is to remove the index.php so that 
http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/My_Page_Title becomes 
http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/My_Page_Title, then you need to follow the 
instructions at

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

which, in summary, is an apache rewriting rule of the URL that says 
"http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/My_Page_Title"; redirects to 
"http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/My_Page_Title";.

Hope it helps.
