What is the best way to configure htaccess?

Question

htaccess

Now there is a rule
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php?page=$1
request www.site.ru/rules
in scripts is recognized as www.site.ru/index.php?page=rules
Is it possible to somehow rewrite the rule so that
www.site.ru/rules/1 requests are
recognized as www .site.ru/index.php?page=rules&i=1
www.site.ru/rules/
as
Recognized as www.site.ru/index.php?page=rules

Answer 1

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php?page=$1

Instead, the rules are:

RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/(\d+)$ index.php?page=$1&i=$2

RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1

Or combine into one rule:

RewriteCond page=$1&i=$2    ^(.+=[^&]+)
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)(?:/(\d*))?$ index.php?%1
