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. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Errors_and_Symptoms#Specified_key_was_too_long _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
