Hi, I am upgrading my non-profit's website which currently runs on MediaWiki v1.16.5 to 2.25.3. The current site is http://www.hindupedia.com The new site will be http://www.hindupedia.org When I installed the new version of mediawiki (manual tar unzipped into the old mediawiki directory) and ran the update.php. After commenting out the incompatible skins/extensions, I got the site up and running. However, articles with multi-byte titles didn't transfer over or were corrupted. For example, The current site has a list of articles many of which have multi-byte characters (e.g, with diacritical marks) http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Category:Concise_Encyclopedia_of_Hinduism The same page in the new site shows the article names are corrupted: http://www.hindupedia.org/en/Category:Concise_Encyclopedia_of_Hinduism An example is: Abhiniveśa <http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Abhinive%C5%9Ba> became AbhiniveÅ›a <http://www.hindupedia.org/en/Abhinive%C3%85%E2%80%BAa> Multi-byte characters within articles themselves seem to be ok. Does anyone know what could be causing this and/or how to fix it?
