[wp-docs] internal linking problem?

[Cori Schlegel]

I'm not a heavy contributor to the codex, and I don't watch this list 
religiously, so please forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere.

I noticed a few days back that it seem like the internal linking style 
of the Codex has changed, I'm guessing since the roll out of MediaWiki 
1.5.7.

If you look at my "desktop" 
(http://codex.wordpress.org/User:CoriSchlegel/Desktop) you can see what 
I mean:

    * A link I added before 1.5.7 uses the syntax
      [[User:CoriSchlegel/Desktop/get_settings|get_settings]] and points
      to http://codex.wordpress.org/User:CoriSchlegel/Desktop/get_settings
    * A link I added just a few days ago uses the syntax
      [[User:CoriSchlegel/Desktop/TinyMCE|TinyMCE]] and sort of points
      to
      http://codex.wordpress.org/index.php?title=User:CoriSchlegel/Desktop/TinyMCE&action=edit. 
      By sort of I mean that MediaWiki seems to think that the page
      doesn't exist and thus provides the default "edit" link, but when
      you follow the link you get to my page in edit mode but with
      content.  If you go to
      http://codex.wordpress.org/User:CoriSchlegel/Desktop/TinyMCE you
      get the actual page.

As I recall from my own install of MediaWiki, there was a bit to do with 
friendly urls, but it's been a while so I don't recall for sure.  That 
was also 1.5.1 (I think).  Relying on that vague memory though, leads me 
to believe that the new Codex is using the not-nice urls by default.

Has anyone else noted this?  Is there a running discussion I haven't seen?

Thanks in advance for any insight...
