Small correction to previous message: Windows.
From what I understand, Windows based systems have trouble parsing certain characters when MediaWiki is run on a WAMP stack due to the Windows settings for saving filenames.

Is your web stack on a Wnodws based system? If so, they have known issues with special character file names.

Hi
I'd like to allow special characters in file names on my Wiki. For example, currently I'd like some file names to include Greek letters like alpha and beta. In order to avoid being accused of using this list as my personal "Google" I am giving you the details of all my searches of Google and Wikimedia sites. I have checked https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T3780 but I couldn't see any solutions to this problem. I was going to try https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T3780#60419 but after I searched SpecialUpload.php I did not find anywhere in the file with
if( $this->saveUploadedFile(
in it, hence I couldn't even give it a try (granted that posted made almost 8 years ago).
I also found https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/FileBackend after searching for FileBackend, as it was a popular topic in this thread, in a MediaWiki search but I hadn't the foggiest how it applied to what I wanted. I also saw http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4138705/mediawiki-special-characters-in-f... but I haven't a clue what the accepted answer meant for me.
