Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Re: Install Question

This isn't exactly a PhpWiki question, but it relates, and perhaps you
will know the answer.

I am trying to redirect one of my web-pages to a page within my NomicWiki.
I'd rather do this properly using Apache's RedirectMatch directive in the
.htaccess file (rather than having one of those annoying "this page will 
refresh in 5 seconds" pages).

But the problem is this: The URL I want to redirect to is:

http://www.nomic.net/~nomicwiki/index.php?NomicFaq

So I have the directive:

RedirectMatch permanent FAQ.html http://www.nomic.net/~nomicwiki/index.php?NomicFaq

But Apache does some kind of encoding on this and sends me to the URL:

http://www.nomic.net/~nomicwiki/index.php%3fNomicFaq

which, of course, doesn't work.

I have scoured the Apache manuals but cannot find a way to prevent this.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have considered moving to the new PhpWiki with USE_PATH_INFO, so I
can redirect to http://www.nomic.net/~nomicwiki/index.php/NomicFaq instead,
but I am reluctant to use an alpha copy and upgrading looks like too much
fuss.

While I am on the topic of upgrading, would it be possible to provide a 
set of templates and style files that look as much as possible like the
old PhpWiki? I like the way v1.2 looks better than the new layout.

Also, I notice that a number of the text formatting rules pages are out of
date. The rules at the bottom of the edit page still recommend ''' for bold.
The TextFormattingRules page has several mistakes.
