[Mediawiki-l] Use of $wgUseLatin1

Wed May 3 01:35:00 UTC 2006

We're currently upgrading one of our 1.4.12 installations up to 1.5.8,
before we upgrade to 1.6.5.

Under 1.4.12, we have the setting "$wgUseLatin1 = false;" in
LocalSettings.php, which the help page
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:$wgUseLatin1>  (very) briefly
describes as "Enable ISO-8859-1 compatibility mode".

Is this still necessary under 1.5.8? The help page says it's still in
use, but it was not in the default 1.5 LocalSettings.php file.

Thanks,
-Jeff
