Then add the following lines to your LocalSettings.php file (near the end): require_once( "$IP/extensions/ShortUrl/ShortUrl.php" ); == Configuration == $wgShortUrlTemplate specifies the template to use for the shorturl. $1 in the template is replaced with the ShortURL id. $wgServer is prepended before $wgShortUrlTemplate. Defaults to using the longer form (with Special:ShortUrl). Can be condensed down to use anything else, via mod_rewrite rules
