Hello,
I'd need to set charset for my mediawiki 1.15.3 to latin1 instead of
utf8 default
this because I cannot convert my mysql DB to utf8.
All tables in mysql DB are set to latin1.
if I convert it to utf8 I have key lenghtness errors.
Actually special characters are mangled in my mediawiki pages since I
upgraded from an old mediawiki version 1.5.*
to version 1.15.3
how can I Solve this ?
is there a way to set latin1 charset in mediawiki 1.15.3 ?
thanks
Rick
You can't. MediaWiki will always work with utf-8.
However, note that MediaWiki can also work with utf-8 text stored in
text fields that msysql thinks are latin1 ($wgDBmysql5 = false).
If the key lenghts are not appropiate, change them.
