Hi, I've setup a Mediawiki which mirrors part of another german mediawiki. Therefore I download the pages and try to upload them in my wiki.
For doing the upload I use a perl program and the Perl package CMS::Mediawiki. Everythings wents well as long as the names of the pages are standard ASCII, but since I mirror a german mediawiki some pages contain german umlauts. Prefetching the pages, e.g. with GET http://mars.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/mediawiki/statistik/index.php?title=%C3%84hnlichkeitsma%C3%9F&action=edit delivers me the right page. But if I try to update the page via POST http://mars.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/mediawiki/statistik/index.php?title=Ähnlichkeitsmaß&action=submit it changes the page http://mars.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/mediawiki/statistik/index.php/%C3%83%C2%84hnlichkeitsma%C3%83%C2%9F Using POST http://mars.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/mediawiki/statistik/index.php?title=%C3%84hnlichkeitsma%C3%9F&action=submit delivers me a "Original title: Spezial:Badtitle" error. So, my questions are: 11) Has someone used successfully another software to upload pages with german umlauts from files (it can be in any programming language :) 2.) Has someone successfully used CMS::Mediawiki, encountered the same problem and found a solution? 3.) Maybe someone has an idea what went wrong and can tell me. Thanks in advance Sigbert Klinke _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
