The PostgreSQL database encoding is set to UTF8, FWIW. It sometimes seems to store UTF-8 characters correctly, but then eat other characters: https://nixos.org/wiki/Test This may be related to the corruption on this page: https://nixos.org/wiki/Special:Version We should probably upgrade the MediaWiki version first and see if that helps. > Speaking of nix wiki... there's quite a steady in-flow of **spam** articles > (e.g. today I see certainly more than fifty new pages in its feed).

(Basically I deleted all orphan pages, then all user accounts that never made any edits.) Hopefully no actual content got caught :-) I also disabled account creation until we have captcha or whatever. With respect to switching to another wiki: I'm not necessarily opposed, but the main problem with the current wiki is (IMHO) that it's a rather disorganized mess of often poorly spelled/formatted articles. Switching to another wiki is not going to help anything there. -- Eelco Dolstra | LogicBlox, Inc. | http://nixos.org/~eelco/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
