Alok, your server mod_rewrite installation appears to be broken.  It doesn't
appear to be a WikkaWiki problem.

I can resolve this just fine:

http://wiki.arkalumen.com/wikka.php?wakka=HomePage

This indicates a working WikkaWiki installation.  The links on the
wiki appear as:

http://wiki.arkalumen.com/WantedPages

This indicates that you have (as Tormod pointed out) set "rewrite_mode
=> '1'" in your wikka.config.php.  This is also working correctly.

However, your server is not resolving these links correctly.  You need
to fix mod_rewrite on your server. 

Post your .htaccess file here (just the part after <IfModule
mod_rewrite.c>).  Verify that mod_rewrite is actually enabled on your
server.  Check the suggestions here:
http://docs.wikkawiki.org/ModRewrite

Usually one of the devs is on the IRC channel (freenode, #wikka) if
you want to stop by there.
