Pretty URL
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.
For most Content Management Systems or other web application software the system creates a new URL for a piece of content. Making the URL 'pretty' can be a straightforward task that usually involves URL rewriting features of your web server in addition to some configuration of the application.
MediaWiki[edit | edit source]
For MediaWiki, first you should get 'short URLs' working. Then, you can also add '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.
