Hi,
A few months ago I experienced serious problems with the cyrillic
characters (on UTF-8) when using the "root" user with my wiki. It seems
that it is a built-in "feature" in MySQL 5. This is just one of the
non-security risks to use "root". If you're unfamiliar with the SQL
syntax, you can easily create users and grant privileges with phpMyAdmin.
Simply give root as the mysql superadmin, and your preferred mysql
username for MediaWiki, in MW install, and it will create that account.
