guslI am annoyed enough at MediaWiki that I'm willing to pay a professional to fix this for me.
Ideally, URLs would look like http://www.optimizelife.com/wiki/Main_Page
SiteGround's installation scripts gave me: http://www.optimizelife.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
Changing hosts and installing by hand (with kind help from ehuber) made the URL even worse: http://optimizelife.nfshost.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL has been failing me.

I'm not optimistic about being able to restore the wikidb. So at some point, I should make "keyboard+mouse scripts" for backup / restore into text files ("click on Edit, copy the wikitext, paste onto Notepad, etc"). Any idea how to do that?
