Would it be possible to only redirect if the title $_GET variable is
present?

Thanks for clarifying this. The complete behavior I'm looking for is just to
create SEF URLs for pages on the site by hiding the index.php?title= part
of the URL. Thus, visiting /my_test_page in your browser would internally
load the index.php?title=my_test_page URL but display the SEF URL to
the user. How can I achieve this behavior?

Thanks,

Andrew
