.htaccess file for forums

I need to write an .htcaccess file that will meet the following conditions:

1) redirect site.com to www.site.com

2) redirect site.com/forum/index.php to www.site.com/forum (no trailing slash)

3) redirect site.com/forum/ to www.site.com/forum (no trailing slash)

4) redirect *site.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page* to site.com/wiki (no trailing slash)*

5) redirect all 404s to site.com

Additionally, I need a second version of .htaccess for temporary use that will meet the conditions above with the following modifications

*6) redirect site.com or www.site.com to www.site.com/forum (no trailing slash)

*7) redirect all 404s to www.site.com/forum (no trailing slash)

Thanks for the help!

Version 1:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# 1) redirect site.com to www.site.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R]

# 2) redirect site.com/forum/index.php to www.site.com/forum (no trailing slash)
# 3) redirect site.com/forum/ to www.site.com/forum (no trailing slash)
RewriteRule ^forum/(index.php)?$ forum [L]

# 4) redirect *site.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page* to site.com/wiki (no trailing slash)*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^wiki/index\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^title=Main_Page$
RewriteRule .* wiki [L]

# 5) redirect all 404s to site.com
ErrorDocument 404 /

Version 2:
