Every single site that runs on Mediawiki that I have ever visited has the option of replacing the title of an article with the following phrase in the url:?&curid=[any number]. For example: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/?&curid=1999, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?&curid=2001

So, since PMWiki is wiki software like MediaWiki and has a url structure that is similar to Mediawiki, why don't pmwiki site urls have any kind of ID system?

In PmWiki, page urls are deduced from page names themselves. For example, the page MyGroup.MyPage may be reached via either:

(according to wiki's Clean Url configuration)

The SQLite PageStore cookbook recipe (ie. PmWiki's addon), would provide shortened urls.

It also should be noted that page names could remain short, using (:title ...:) markup in the page itself to provide a more detailed title.
