Topic on Talk:MediaWiki 1.35

Hy @all!

The migration from parsoid to php really is a game changer! Fantastic! VisualEditor works like a charm.

I tried some more and figured out, that with this release I have trouble saving (or also migrating) lemmas with UTF-8 chars (German Umlaute).

Neither can I save them, nor can I open them (e.g. after importing from another wiki)

At the moment I have no idea how to proceed: Can I provide you any specific data ?

I'm using Lua and semantic wiki.

Bug or feature? I don't know if the problem exists because of misconfig or bug. Umlaute are correctly formatted within the text.

If you tell me where I can write down this topic (if this is not the right place) or whom to address I'll gladly do this.

Thanks a lot and stay COVID-free ;-)

Edit: Here are some general information about my installation:

Software Version

MediaWiki 1.35.0-rc.3

PHP 7.4.10 (fpm-fcgi)

MariaDB 10.2.33-MariaDB-1:10.2.33+maria~bionic

ICU 60.2

Lua 5.1.5

What do you mean by "Lemmas"?

Hi Reedy,

sorry, too long editing in German wikipedia. A content site and also its header is called a lemma there.

Here is an example lemma I was not able to import due to it's "ä" in the header: "Liste der Säugetiere in Deutschland"

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Säugetiere_Deutschlands

Ok, so a lemma is just an "article" or a "content page".

Did you already have any of these pages on your wiki? Do they still work?

Great question. The already existing pages with Umlaut are working correctly. I tried to create a short one myself, and this does work properly as well. Obviously it is not the wiki engine itself which have difficulties here, it might be the problem of one of the extensions (lua maybe?) I will dig deeper and come up with new information. Thanks for that hint!
