Dear friend; I am involved in a larger inter project / inter site linking via VIAF Virtual International Authority File numbers. Is there a way to define apache aliases for wiki pages via VIAF values. Some examples are available at testwiki:Category:Authority control. I think about an alias url for de:Gilad_Schalit the shortest would be http://de.wikipedia.org/viaf/53960499. The VIAF value should be included in the sourcecode "mediaWiki.config.set" array.
Need to leave this internet cafeé. Will provide more details soon. Best regards לערי ריינהארט 21:40, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

No. This is not a native feature in MediaWiki and is something for an extension.
