If you have "if ($uri" in configuration, this means that your configuraiton
is far from optimal and has hidden agendas.

location / {
try_files $uri ${uri}index.php /index.php?title=$uri;
}

location /images/ {
# empty
}

location ~ ^/index.php/(.+) {
rewrite ^/index.php/(.+) /index.php?title=$1 last;
}

location ~ .*\.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:10000;
...
}
