The titles seem to have invalid UTF-8 sequences in them. I'm not sure how it's possible to create such titles, in any version of MediaWiki. If anyone knows how to do this in MediaWiki 1.18, please file a bug. Yes, cleanupTitles.php will rename all the pages to valid titles. You can then use deleteBatch.php to delete them. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
