Thank you, Brian. That was indeed the missing piece. We set $wgArticlePath,
so that explains the format of the URL.

Its not CGI support so much as if MW detects it can properly use
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO']. Generally speaking, this is true provided your
PHP sapi is not cgi, apache2filter, or isapi. Of course, if you have
set $wgArticlePath yourself, then this auto-detection stuff is
overridden.

Scott,
I double checked the Short URL manual page [0], because you mentioned
that
you planned to switch to short URLs due to this
issue. We do not use
short
URLs, so there must be something else going on.
What struck me on the
manual page, was the following:
MediaWiki's default page addresses looks like these examples:
http://example.org/w/index.php/Page_title *(recent versions of
MediaWiki,
without CGI
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface> support)*
http://example.org/w/index.php?title=Page_title *(recent versions of
MediaWiki, with CGI support)*
Our URLs are consistent with the first case and yours are consistent with
the second. However, we do have CGI enabled. Maybe somebody on the list
can
elaborate on why the format of the URLs might be
different?
