[Mediawiki-l] FireFox URL encoding

[Maxim]

Hello mediawiki-l,

I have my own wiki http://towiki.ru/ powered by MediaWiki, it's a
CityWiki for Tomsk. It works fine in IE and Opera, but I have one
problem in Firefox:

if I try to open URL (codepage in Windows is Russian: Windows-1251):
http://towiki.ru/view/Асино

FireFox tries to retrieve incorrect URL:
http://towiki.ru/view/%C3%80%C3%B1%C3%A8%C3%AD%C3%AE

but correct URL is:
http://towiki.ru/view/%D0%90%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%BE

It is because FireFox setting network.standard-url.encode-utf8 by
default is set to false, see
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.standard-url.encode-utf8

If I change in about:config network.standard-url.encode-utf8 to true,
FireFox also works, but it is not a solution because everybody have
this parameter switched to false.

BUT in ru-Wikipedia http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Асино
even with network.standard-url.encode-utf8=false
gives http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%90%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%BE
so all works correct.

My question is - why it works correct in Wikipedia and how I can do
the same for my wiki?

Thank you very much for your help!
