Hi, these need to be priority issues, because we're trying to
resolve a potential fork before it really gets underway!

fork?
Dear Jimmi,
thank you very much for this (and for all you do!)
I've checked for langual problems in
ru.wikipedia.org. There are four
problems found - one is to be fixed by me soon, and other seem to have the
same root:
1. English text in LanguageRu.php - translation in progress, I will write to
Brion on completion.
2. "Database error" report as result of any search (including in latin
letters) in search box in
ru.wikipedia.org
(A database query syntax error has occurred. The last attempted database
query was: "SELECT cur_id,cur_namespace,cur_title,cur_text FROM
cur,searchindex WHERE cur_id=si_page AND ( (MATCH (si_title) AGAINST
('linux')) ) AND cur_namespace IN (0) LIMIT 0, 100" from within function
"SearchEngine::showResults". MySQL returned error "1016: Can't open
file:
'searchindex.MYI'. (errno: 145)".)
3. Error when moving files in
ru.wikipedia.org
(A database query syntax error has occurred. The last attempted database
query was: "UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY searchindex SET si_title='testtesttest'
WHERE si_page=811" from within function "SearchUpdate::doUpdate". MySQL
returned error "1016: Can't open file: 'searchindex.MYI'. (errno:
145)".)
4. Error when uploading files in
ru.wikipedia.org
(A database query syntax error has occurred. The last attempted database
query was: "REPLACE DELAYED INTO searchindex (si_page,si_title,si_text)
VALUES (999,'saturn planet jpg',' u8d18du8d182u8d0be

"SearchUpdate::doUpdate". MySQL returned error "1016: Can't open file:
'searchindex.MYI'. (errno: 145)".)
However, file appear there, despite problems with uploading.
Also, Russian description text in Recent Changes seems to chopped in
middle - last character is invalid (maybe it's because UTF-8 strings are
longer than English, so the software chops text in middle of character).
I appreciate any help in solving this

Re: Why the fork?
Oh, I'm sorry about that! I received a confusing
report.
The main thing I want to be known is that if there is a problem which
led to the forking, I want the opportunity to address and solve that
problem, so that everyone is happy. There is no need for anyone to be
enemies here. :-)
