    I assume you are running a Wiki as your site? If so try short URLs from the MediaWiki website.

    Yes, you could do it with htaccess. 301 redirect.

    MediaWiki uses PHP's header() routine to generate a custom 301 response. The key field in the header is Location which specifies the new URL.
