is not
related right?
We aren't going to run the wiki in the root, that will stay in /w/ we are
only looking for a shorter url if I'm correct.

Hoi,
Does that mean that you want to have something else in stead of "view" in
each language ?
Thanks,

Removing
the prefix would save five characters, and I'm guessing that
it would also save a measurable amount of traffic serving 5KB 404
pages.
Is there something else on these virtual hosts other than a few
regexes which are extremely unlikely to be used as page names (i.e.
\/w\/.*\.php).

Changing the URL structure is a big deal. There's been discussion about
switching "/wiki/" to "/view/" if $wgActionPaths are implemented on
Wikimedia wikis at some point, but I don't think putting article titles
in
the root directory is ever going to happen.
