If this is what I think it is, the pages are still there; they just can't be accessed by some web browsers now because mediawiki handles url sanitisation differently, which winds up being redundant with the browsers' own handling. And trying to fix it for these browsers broke it for different ones, which are apparently higher-priority.

Somehow wikimedia seems to have worked around this (probably by using caching so that the browsers never hit it in the first place), but I'm still encountering the problem on my own wikis. Unless the problem persists with other browsers, though, I don't know what to say, as this isn't apparently a problem people consider worth solving. (When the original fix was reverted, I just had to rename all the pages I had that had apostrophes, but as a solution that's pretty damn stupid.)

Unfortunately now I can't actually find any of the associated bugs.

Hi there... I have a wiki running like a charm for two years. Last month I
was trying to migrate to a brand new server, so I did the following:

1. Install mediawiki 1.26.0 on the new server
2. Upgrade from mediawiki 1.25.3 to 1.26.0 on the old server
3. Dump the old database on a .sql file
4. Load the database on the new server
5. Copy the files from the old to the new server

Everything works fine EXCEPT those pages with an apostrophe on the page
title, which send an

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

error.

I have compared both the database character set and the storage engine and
their are the same... Could you help me guess what could be the problem.
The wiki is in French, so there are lots of pages with an apostrophe on
their name....

Cheers

PS: Both records are identical in both databases
