Problem with simple rewrite rule

[Tieg Zaharia]

I think the first problem is that you're redirecting to wiki.php instead of
to the "/WIKIPAGE" url. As I found out last week, replacing query strings in
nginx can be tricky. Does this work? (it won't work with more query string
params)

server {
  if ($query_string ~ ^wiki=(.*)$) {
    rewrite ^(.*)$ /$1 break;
  }
}
