3. There are problems with interwiki links. If Polish article title contain

non-ascii characters, I can't easily link it using [[pl:Name]].

I have the same problem with the portuguese wkipedia. I can't link to [[pt:portugu?s]].

You can link by %-escapes (which you can copy from URL). This method sucks but is the only way until we all adopt UTF-8.

I strongly recommend setting all non-English Wikipedias to UTF-8 on transition to PHP script, regardless of whatever encoding is currently most popular for your languages.

I also think that English Wikipedia should move to UTF-8.
