we're doing ISO-8859-1 .. a little bit shizophrenic after all.
If you are upgrading an old installation you should probably specify
"Deutsch (Latin-1)" for the language/charset rather than "Deutsch
(Unicode)".
To do this manually after setup, set
$wgUseLatin1 = true; and rebuild the messages.
- how could I backup _only_ the pages from the
database and scrap
everything else, so I could start with a freshly generated database?
Use mysqldump to backup anything you want from the database.
- how can I customize other things? i.e. the menues,
the picture, stuff
like that ...
Find and edit the appropriate files. Sorry, annoying answer. :)
