Yeah I'm running Windows. So I'm guessing there's no known way
of overcoming this issue?

Small correction to previous message: Windows.
From what I understand, Windows based systems have trouble
parsing certain characters when MediaWiki is run on a WAMP
stack due to the Windows settings for saving filenames.

Is your web stack on a Wnodws based system? If so, they have
known issues with special character file names.

Subject: [MediaWiki-l] Enabling special character file names
Hi
I'd like to allow special characters in file names on my
Wiki. For
example,
currently I'd like some file names to include
Greek letters
like alpha
and
beta. In order to avoid being accused of using
this list as
my personal "Google" I am giving you the details of all my
searches of Google and Wikimedia sites. I have checked
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T3780 but
I couldn't see any solutions to this problem.
I was going to
try
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T3780#60419 but after I
searched SpecialUpload.php I did not find anywhere in the
file with
> if( $this->saveUploadedFile(
in it, hence I couldn't even give it a try (granted that
posted made
almost
8 years ago).
I also found
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/FileBackend after
searching
for
FileBackend, as it was a popular topic in this
thread, in a
MediaWiki search but I hadn't the foggiest how it applied to
what I wanted. I also saw
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4138705/mediawiki-special-characters-in-…
but I haven't a clue what the accepted
answer meant for me.
Thanks for your time, Brenton
