Hoi, The MediaWiki software supports all scripts that are in UTF-8. This means that scripts that are not supported in UTF-8 and by inference the languages
Ah. Okay. Please say unicode and not UTF-8 in this context.
Because of the wealth of broken software out there there are still people who believe that UTF-8 can only cover the subset covered by UCS16, rather than all of unicode. Your specific mention of UTF-8 let me wondering if you were suffering from that particular misconception.
Of course, mediawiki has been used in the past with other encodings than unicode. ... But supporting these scripts with alternative encodings would be a return to the bad old days. Better to get them included in unicode. ... a matter well outside the scope of this list. :)
