Hey,

I installed TightURL recently, and it's got a very interesting way to handle
urls.  You can use mod_rewrite, of course, but it claims that is broken and
that it's better to use the 404 trick.  Here's what you do:

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

When you go to a url (like http://example.com/List_of_lists), it 404s, and
passes that 404 to index.php which then properly displays the article List of
lists.

This is a lot easier (especially for new users) than the other techniques
listed on [[mw:Manual:Short_URL]].
