Hi,
I am upgrading my non-profit's website which currently runs on MediaWiki
v1.16.5 to 2.25.3.
The current site is
http://www.hindupedia.com
The new site will be
http://www.hindupedia.org
When I installed the new version of mediawiki (manual tar unzipped into the
old mediawiki directory) and ran the update.php. After commenting out the
incompatible skins/extensions, I got the site up and running.
However, articles with multi-byte titles didn't transfer over or were
corrupted. For example,
The current site has a list of articles many of which have multi-byte
characters (e.g, with diacritical marks)
http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Category:Concise_Encyclopedia_of_Hinduism
The same page in the new site shows the article names are corrupted:
http://www.hindupedia.org/en/Category:Concise_Encyclopedia_of_Hinduism
An example is:
Abhiniveśa <http://www.hindupedia.com/en/Abhinive%C5%9Ba> became AbhiniveÅ›a
<http://www.hindupedia.org/en/Abhinive%C3%85%E2%80%BAa>
Multi-byte characters within articles themselves seem to be ok.
Does anyone know what could be causing this and/or how to fix it?
Best Regards,
Krishna
