Main problem: I set the language to german, and

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)".
But I want to use Unicode ..
To do this manually after setup, set
$wgUseLatin1 = true; and rebuild the messages.
.. doesn't change anything at all.
- 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.
no. everything. anything I want would be a FAR smaller selection.
- how can I
customize other things? i.e. the menues, the picture, stuff
like that ...
Find and edit the appropriate files. Sorry, annoying answer. :)
did that, didn't change anything at all either (at least for the
messages).
