Just a thought on this... Since this recent MedaiWiki update was an upgrade from an old MediaWiki instance running on an existing/old MySQL database... is it possible that some of the tables were set to Latin1 and contained UTF-8 encoded data? Yes, you are on the right path with this.
Aha :-) Well, the good thing is if you know the root of the problem, it's usually fixable... maybe painful to fix, but fixable in the end.
environment. It *almost* worked. Unfortunately, we are having a few other issues that I have to look at. But yes, you are correct in that this is 95% of the problem.
Almost - I know that one. Up until this summer, I was the lead server admin on the OpenOffice.org wiki, and backed myself into many creative corners while doing upgrades.
I'm trying this all out on our staging wikis. I imported the production data down to rustage.opensuse.org, and that is where I am doing most of my work. I managed to get the titles to at least appear correctly, but we are having some other issues as well. I haven't given up hope though.
Are the other issues known? I mean.. are you still trying to figure them out, or have a fix in process? Just curious. I'm no super expert on Wikis and MySQL, but I have bumbled into some oddities in the 5 years or so I was administering the OOo Wiki.
