Post: Wiki: bug with umlauts (new page not created)

  • go to /wikinew
  • enter some page name with ö
  • click "Create"

What I would expect:

  • editor opens for new page (2026-05-15 15:59:20: You are editing a new, unsaved page: aaa)
  • upon Save & Close the new page with the entered content is shown

What I get instead:

  • /wikiedit?name=ö&mimetype=text/x-markdown shows page selection (2026-05-15 16:00:35: Loaded page list.)
  • I have to enter the page via "Create new page" and "Add page locally"
  • upon Save & Close the new page is shown but empty, instead of showing the entered content

Is this some issue with my system not supporting Unicode? I'm on Windows 11 using Fossil via fossil ui via Podman (via WSL)

I use Fossil 2.27 Z

I use Fossil 2.27

Please try version 2.28. The problem you describe was introduced in 2.27 and was fixed in 2.28.

Tested and confirmed, this fixes my problem.

Many thanks!
