Ok, everyday we see a load of questions about mod_rewrite. Every once in a while, there is a good tricky scenario, but most are boiler plate "how do I redirect URL xyz to abc?". I think the users should find an answer on the site easily... so I search myself and I can't even find the classic 2010 question https://serverfault.com/questions/214512/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-mod-rewrite-rules-but-were-afraid-to-as Somehow, we should be able to make this more visible. Also, really, is that the best title - maybe we should have a better title or different entry as the new people not too familiar with Apache and mod_rewrite just don't know that mod_rewrite is the answer to their question -- basically, they are having trouble formulating their question.
