I'm sorry to tell you that your skin is unreadable in Firefox 21 on ubuntu 
12.04: the first letter(s) of each line of each menu is (are ?) out of the 
frame.

It looks as if you're using negative absolute positionning (e.g. "left: 
-38px;") on the menu ...


As for ShortURL, it seems to be working more or less on your test wiki but you 
seem to have something wrong in the template $wgShortUrlTemplate.

For instance:

http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/2

is a ShortURL that redirects correctly to 
http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Test

Likewise http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/1 redirects to 
the Mediawiki:Sidebar it seems, and 
http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl/3 to 
http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Test1

on each of these pages there is a link "Short URL" in the toolbox. That link is 
messed up though. I would suggest that something might have to be fixed in 
$wgShortUrlTemplate.

The Main page does not seem to have that Short URL link, but I don't know if 
it's a bug or a feature of this extension (Main Page has its own very short url 
as http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php )

Maybe re-run populateShortUrlTable.php ?

Hope it helps,

Alexis
ps: I'm absolutely not related to ShortURL extension, just trying to help a bit 
with whatever I know ;-)
