Completed Tasks

Site Map

• Google Sitemap extension
• Somewhere I have a detailed set of instructions on how I made this happen. I will try to find them.

Must visit Special:GoogleSitemap&limit=5000 often. Change limit to meet number of pages we want indexed.

Short URLs

• See wikimedia and User:Helge.at
• Set path in LocalSettings.php to $wgArticlePath = "/$1";
• Added .htaccess to root with the following content

RewriteEngine on

# MediaWiki PHP files, HTTP error documents, favicon.ico, or robots.txt
