I try to upload files with Cyrillic names but have error Upload error: This wiki does not support filenames with special characters.

What can be the problem?

Looks like a sanity check that does MediaWiki because your filesystem doesn't support UTF-8 (unicode) filenames

What operating system does your wiki run on?

I believe this error occurs if you run on a Windows server. PHP on Windows can't use Unicode filenames, which is a very sad limitation, and it all kinda explodes.

If you run on a Linux or Mac OS X server you shouldn't encounter this problem.
