As the subject implies, there is a variable named $wgDBmysql5. I am inclined to believe that the purpose of this variable is to use features only available in MySQL 5.0 or later. The specific implementation affects the encoding in the database.

Right now MediaWiki installation requirements say you need MySQL 5.0.2 or later. So my question is: is this configuration variable still necessary, or should it be deprecated?

Yeah. What I mean is should it be deprecated for new installations.
