On MediaWiki 1.9.3 we are getting "bad title" errors if almost any punctuation mark is included in the title.
Examples include the single quote ' and ordinary brackets ( and ) - i.e., "normal" special characters, not weird stuff like # and & and + (which is in any case not required in our case).
Copying $wgLegalTitleChars from DefaultSettings.php to LocalSettings.php makes no difference; not have any of the variations on this I have tried.
I have run out of ideas to try, can anyone suggest a fix - it's driving my users nuts.
Thankyou in advance

Have you modified the software at all or installed any hacks or extensions? Try recopying the files over the existing ones (not reinstalling, leave LocalSettings.php alone). Could you give a link to your wiki?
