What have you set $wgArticlePath to? This is what is used for plain
view URLs, and should be the focus of your efforts.

Don't ever do that, as you won't get correct URLs. $wgScript must be an
absolute path, starting with a slash, and needs to consistently
resolve.

This will fail for page titles containing "?"

To get full coverage, use the rewrite patch for Apache 1.3.x (in the
maintenance subdirectory) which converts ampersands, and send those as
a query string instead of path_info.

Hmmmm, I don't feel comfortable patching my stock Apache 2.0.52 as
it makes future upgrades more complex. I guess that means only
partial loss of the index.php, except for cases where "index.php?"
is used.

My current setup:

------- LocalSettings.php -----------------------------------
$wgScriptPath = "";
$wgScript = $wgScriptPath . "/index.php";
$wgRedirectScript = $wgScriptPath . "/redirect.php";

## If using PHP as a CGI module, use the ugly URLs
$wgArticlePath = "${wgScript}/$1";
-------------------------------------------------------------


------- httpd.conf ------------------------------------------
RewriteEngine On

# Redirect old /wiki/ URLs
RewriteRule ^/wiki/(.*)$ http://www.rapdict.org/$1 [R,L]

# Redirect "/index.php/" URLs
RewriteRule ^/index.php/(.*)$ http://www.rapdict.org/$1 [R,L]

# Don't rewrite "/index.php?" URLs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php\?

# Don't rewrite requests for files in MediaWiki subdirectories,
# MediaWiki PHP files, HTTP error documents, favicon.ico, or robots.txt
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(stylesheets|images|skins)/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(redirect|texvc|index).php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/error/(40(1|3|4)|500).html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/favicon.ico
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/robots.txt

# Rewrite "/Article" to "/index.php/Article" for internal use
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
-------------------------------------------------------------

To avoid the double requests (logically) appearing in the Apache
logfile, I have patched the function getLocalURL() in Title.php
by adding one line at line 418, just before "return $url":

------ Title.php --------------------------------------------
$url = str_replace( "/index.php/", "", $url);
-------------------------------------------------------------

That seems to do the trick for pretty much all links.

Now
$wgArticlePath = "${wgScript}/$1";

Should be
$wgArticlePath = "/$1";

Hahaha! I can't believe I missed that one! Thanks for the correction;
no need to patch Title.php now.
