Summary0008877: MediaWiki integration should use Windows/WAMP friendly URL
Description

The MediaWiki integration API (wiki_mediawiki_api.php) uses at function "wiki_mediawiki_get_url_for_page_id" the root namespace as a file name in the article URL. This causes Apache to crash in WAMP servers, due to Windows does not allow a colon (:) in file names.

A solution to this kind of problem, frequently recommended by Apache users, is the use of Apache rules to rewrite the URLs (see http://www.mwusers.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-4407.html and http://www.apachelounge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=996 ), but a very simple way of avoid this problem is passing the article title as a parameter to MediaWiki index page instead of call the article title as a file name.

I'm attaching a patch file for the wiki_mediawiki_api.php file. If you agree with this change, please commit it.
