+Want to turn on the `usedirs` setting on an existing wiki without breaking
+all the links into it? Here's a way to do it for Apache, using the
+RewriteEngine. This example is for a wiki at the top of a web site, but can
+be adapted to other situations.
+
+ # pages
+ RewriteCond $1 !^/~ # these pages
+ RewriteCond $1 !^/doc/ # are not part of
+ RewriteCond $1 !^/ajaxterm # the wiki, so
+ RewriteCond $1 !^/cgi-bin/ # don't rewrite them
+ RewriteCond $1 !.*/index$
+ RewriteRule (.+).html $1/ [R]
+
+ # rss feeds
+ RewriteCond $1 !^/~
+ RewriteCond $1 !.*/index$
+ RewriteRule (.+).rss $1/index.rss
+
+ # atom feeds
+ RewriteCond $1 !^/~
+ RewriteCond $1 !.*/index$
+ RewriteRule (.+).atom $1/index.atom
