After upgrading from 1.7 to 1.8.1, my wiki no longer has any special pages. I can't even login now because the UserLogin special page is missing.
I just get a page that says: There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page.
RecentChanges, RandomPage, etc all return the same thing.
But all the user added wiki content is working fine.
Any ideas?

Check that all pages in the /includes folder are intact, especially the ones prefixed with "Special" as those are where all the Special pages are taken from. It could have been an error when you uploaded the new files.
If that doesn't work try uploading them again anyway as it might be a defect in uploading.

Are you running PHP 5.x on an x86_64 (AMD64) machine? If so, upgrade to PHP 5.1. Older versions of PHP are broken on 64-bit, which ends up corrupting data.
