When I searched for help on this I had a terrible time but I
eventually figured it out. Here is what I used with hopes it will help
someone in the future.

Caddyfile:

`mydomain.duckdns.org {
        @title {
                not file {
                        try_files {path} {path}/
                        split_path .php
                }
                path_regexp title ^/(.*)$
        }
        rewrite @title /index.php?title={re.title.1}&{query}
        root * /var/www/html/w #this might be /mediawiki for you
        php_fastcgi unix//var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock #check your
version
        encode gzip #I honestly don't know if this is required
        file_server`

LocalSettings.php:

`
## The URL base path to the directory containing the wiki;
## defaults for all runtime URL paths are based off of this.
## For more information on customizing the URLs
## (like /w/index.php/Page_title to /wiki/Page_title) please see:
## https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL
$wgScriptPath = "";

 // note I didn't use /w/ here because my redirect goes straight there
#
# short url
$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";
$wgUsePathInfo = true;
`
