A "Pretty URL" is one that is short, memorable, and easy to type. It's not the same as a Persistent URL (PURL), but ideally, your persistent URLs are also Pretty. Making a "Pretty URL" means transforming a system URL like <code>wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page</code> with <code>'''/wiki/Main_Page'''</code>.

For MediaWiki, first you should get '[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL short URLs]' working. Then, you can also add '[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgActionPaths ActionPaths]' so that even the edit, delete, unwatch, etc. actions are "clean" too. This results in a wiki that has article URLs present in a REST-like manner with the action "verb" at the end. The default 'view' action is assumed and left off.
