Hi, is it possible to run Mediawiki on an all UTF-8 database? I tried to convert a Mediawiki database which is still on latin1 and the import stopped because of some keys getting too long in UTF-8. I've read that Mediawiki is supposed to run on UTF-8, so why does this happen at all? Or is this just the case with existing databases from old versions? (The wiki was originally set up on 1.4 but is running on 1.7 now.) Currently (i.e on latin1_bin tables) e.g. greek letters will not show correctly on my wiki.
Cheers, Christian
