In the past few months, I've seen more and more people
not wanting to have a "/wiki/" directory. Either because their
subdomain says so already, or because their domain name
says so already.
The most common fallback in such a case is letting the paths
be rewritten from the root of the domain, but I think most
developers will agree that this is not a good practice, which is
why that manual is not recommended.
A good alternative is using wgActionPaths instead.
See more here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgActionPaths#Clean_action_paths_from…
The end result will be like:
*
wiki.example.org/view/Article_name
*
wiki.example.org/edit/Article_name
*
wiki.example.org/history/Article_name
Sites that use this configuration are for example:
*
http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Main_Page
*
https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Main_Page

Without root access, can you edit your apache (if you're using Apache)
config?
If not, just install mediawiki into public_html\ArtistGyanWiki\w and
follow the MediaWiki manual with default recommanded short URL guide for
.htaccess.
You'll have something like
http://wiki.artistgyan.com/wiki/Main_page
http://wiki.artistgyan.com/w/index.php?somethingcomplicated
If you don't have that, you want your pages without /wiki/ directly
under the subdomain, the MW manual also cover it but doesn't recommend it.
See:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Short_URL for the global explanation and
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/wiki/Page_title_--_no_root_a…
for the specific.
