Manual talk:$wgIllegalFileChars

No problems
There's actually a lot of issues coming out of having ñÑ and accented characters in file titles. Think moving from Mysql to backups and back, etc, etc. I actually went through a damn nightmare thanks to the ñÑ's despite having a 20px message telling people to don't use those characters. Anyway, there use to be a message telling people the files were being renamed, whatever happened to that? How can I allow just aeiou 1234567890 AEIOU? Why in god's name anyone needs more than that? --Mark 09:50, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * And by the way, including this $wgIllegalFileChars = "áéíóúÁÉÍÓÚÑñ:"; doesn't have any effect on uploads. --Mark 09:52, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
