What.htaccess code should I write to turn something like
localhost/article.php?id=something&number=something
into just
localhost/article/id
Thoughts guys?

You can use rules like this in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+article\.php\?id=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ article/%1? [R=302,L]
# internal forward from pretty URL to actual one
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^article/([^/]+)/?$ article.php?id=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

Sorry, I meant to ask how to change that to localhost/article/id

When I try to visit localhost/article.php?id=something&number=10 the redirection is not working for some reason.

Nevermind, it worked! Only problem I have now is that when I hover over the link, the real link shows. Any way to change that?

hover link cannot be changed by rewrite rule but after you click it can be changed. Its better to change your HTML accordingly with pretty URLs
