New subject: [Mediawiki-l] Accented URLs not redirecting properly

5 Sep 2006

Kasimir - That helps.  I think I understand how to write my htaccess file.

However, I still can't figure out how to do the character translation.
Where do I look for the right translation code table?  Sorry if I'm being
thick about this, but I've looked up Unicode and a half-dozen other tables
and I can't figure out what I'm missing.  In other words... in what table
does %2528 translate to a "(", etc.?

 You need to write an Apache redirect for all odd characters.  The
 problem with this is that you need to have a finite amount of
 characters that are in use, or you need to list all "odd" characters.

 In my wiki I had pages with parenthesis, so I used the following:

 **********
         RewriteEngine on
         RewriteRule ^/wiki/(index\.php.*) /w/$1 [R]
         RewriteRule (.*)%2528(.*)%2529(.*) $1($2)$3 [R]
 **********

 I hope that this helps,
