page table from a early install
I installed mediawiki when it was in its early stages (1.5? it was the
beginning of 2006) on a windows server. It was then upgraded to 1.15, then it
was transferred to a linux server, and upgraded to 1.16.
Now I upgraded to 1.19, but I'm accented letters in article names are presented
with weird characters, tipically the characters you see when a utf8-encoded
text is interpreted as a latin1 one or viceversa.
Looking for a solution, I found this thread:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/UTF8_Problem_with_update_from_1.16_to_1.17
but it didn't help me to solve the issue.
Apparently the problem comes from the fact that my db has conserved some early
version characteristic. I'm attacching a page table structure, where you can
see varchar field, while I'm intending that mediawiki supposes to have
varbinary ones.
The update script should check this case and manage it.
