Hi,
we've just installed the current MediaWiki Distribution on our site. Since the name of our site includes a : the name of the Wiki includes one, too. I think the colon in the name causes a problem.
The problem is that /some/ pages in the "our:wiki" namespace don't work. For example the our:wiki:Bureaucrat log contains an empty page but gets listed as recently changed. Other pages affected in that namespace include the FAQ and the License terms, which ar listed on the bottom of every page. What irritates me is the fact that some pages, like the How_to_edit_a_page in that namespace work.
Now I'd like to know wether this problem can be fixed or if we should rename the Wiki and if we rename it how this is done best - can I simply change the LocalSettings.php or do I have to keep something in mind. While renaming I would like if the already existing pages would stay since some authors already worked on them.
Greets, johannes

Yes, that's going to cause all sorts of problems.
Change $wgSitename and rebuild the message pages (use rebuildMessages.php in maintenance/)
