Hi, I posted about my interwiki links not working about 3 months ago. Meanwhile I've figured out what the problem was and am wondering if I should consider this a bug or not. My databases used to run on latin1_swedish_ci (default latin1) collations which was also the case for older wikis on the same box. However, if I install Mediawiki now, I'll get latin1_bin collations and with these interwiki links won't work any more. As soon as I switch back to latin1_swedish_ci on the column "iw_prefix" in the interwiki table, the links will work again. Is this behaviour intentional or not? (BTW, my MySQL server runs on a UTF-8 default.)
Cheers, Christian
