The term "rewrite engine" is almost always used to refer to the Apache mod_rewrite module, which does text substitution on URLs sent by browsers when they read Web pages. Thus, the term is even more specialized than general rule-rewriting, which would include logical systems that transform strings and sets of strings. WP always describes the most common usage first.

First, "rewrite engine" is considerably more general than URL rewriting (applying to general rewriting systems). And second, "rewrite engine" is actually not that commonly used for URL rewriting beyond Apache mod_rewrite (a few other web server implementations seem to have copied this usage but not many or most; few web applications or their frameworks implement URL rewriting—instead choosing to use other forms of URL mapping or routing—and of those that do, very few seem to refer to it with the term "rewrite engine"). So in this article's current usage, "rewrite engine" is both too specific and not representative. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/50.126.125.240" title="Special:Contributions/50.126.125.240">50.126.125.240</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:50.126.125.240" title="User talk:50.126.125.240">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rewrite_engine#c-50.126.125.240-2015-12-26T16:14:00.000Z-82.95.88.234-2015-01-14T19:26:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:14, 26 December 2015 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-50.126.125.240-2015-12-26T16:14:00.000Z-82.95.88.234-2015-01-14T19:26:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-50.126.125.240-2015-12-26T16:14:00.000Z-82.95.88.234-2015-01-14T19:26:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Implementation_on_Apache" data-mw-thread-id="h-Implementation_on_Apache"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Implementation_on_Apache"></span>Implementation on Apache<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Implementation_on_Apache"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Rewrite_engine&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Implementation on Apache"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>It is a SEF URL, is also a "Rewrite engine"?? </p><p>FOR <a href="/wiki/Apache" title="Apache">Apache</a>: </p> <ol><li>Enable SEF in the <a href="/wiki/CMS" class="mw-disambig" title="CMS">CMS</a> (like <a href="/wiki/Joomla" title="Joomla">Joomla</a>) configuration</li> <li>do NOT rename the htaccess.txt</li> <li>open /includes/sef.php and change this line: (~ line 217) <dl><dd>return $mosConfig_live_site."/".$string;</dd> <dd>to</dd> <dd>return $mosConfig_live_site."/index.php/".$string;</dd></dl></li></ol> <p>For this to work, you will have to make sure AccepPathInfo is set to on in the apache configuration. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Redirecting" data-mw-thread-id="h-Redirecting"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Redirecting"></span>Redirecting<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Redirecting"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Rewrite_engine&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Redirecting"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/SEF_URL" class="mw-redirect" title="SEF URL">SEF URL</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Search_Engine_Friendly_URL" class="mw-redirect" title="Search Engine Friendly URL">Search Engine Friendly URL</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Search_engine_friendly_URLs" class="mw-redirect" title="Search engine friendly URLs">Search engine friendly URLs</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="No_Explanation_Given" data-mw-thread-id="h-No_Explanation_Given-2009-05-28T22:46:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-No_Explanation_Given-2009-05-28T22:46:00.000Z"></span>No Explanation Given<span data-mw-comment-end="h-No_Explanation_Given-2009-05-28T22:46:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Rewrite_engine&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: No Explanation Given"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-208.240.243.170-2009-05-28T22:46:00.000Z-No_Explanation_Given"></span>This page says: </p><p>"Better ranking in search engines (Search engine optimization)" </p><p>and has a link to a page on SEO.

As such, I do not believe this article is representative of its current title. <b>URL rewriting</b> seems like a much more notable title for what this article currently seems to cover. This article's usage of the term "rewrite engine" seems to mostly stem from the Apache mod_rewrite. Only a few other URL rewriting implementations have copied this usage—many web server and web application/web framework implementations barely mention "rewrite engine" if at all (but "URL rewriting" if implemented seems the most commonly used term).
