In nginx terms, for this request, $uri = /index.php. $uri is what both
"rewrite" and "location" match against. That is why the first few attempts
did not do what you hoped they would.

Some other variables which are available include:

$request_uri = /index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Main+Page
$args = title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Main+Page
$arg_title = Special:UserLogin

So you can do an exact or regex match of any of those in a "map" to set
another variable; or you can match directly in an "if"; and then return
the redirection.

All the best,
