Thread:Project:Support desk/updating mediawiki 1.6.12 to 1.18

Hello again friends!

After some problems, I have updated my mediawiki properly from 1.6.12 to 1.18. I had a lot of problems with database version, and finally the solution was edit one file in order to add binary charset (mysql4) instead of mysql 4 (mysql4 was my error).

After this, the upgrade ended properly, but now, the articles with titles that contains ñ or accents don't show properly. For example: if I had an article named "Enlaces de interés" (my mediawiki is in spanish), now its name is something like "Enlaces de inter¨#s", and this cause a lot of problems in all articles because all links to this example article are broken.

I hope have explained well

Take care, Daniel
