Yeah I'm running Windows. So I'm guessing there's no known way of
overcoming this issue?

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.

Subject: [MediaWiki-l] Enabling 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-…
but I haven't a clue what the accepted answer
meant for me.
Thanks for your time,
Brenton
