Thanks for the reply WC Jones. I should have mentioned it in my original
post, but the UTF-8 filenames work great for NEW pages. I am able to create,
edit (both through the wiki and through nano or over the network) and manage
with no problems so far. Some plugins which rely on pagenames/namespaces may
or may not work with UTF-8 names at the moment, but until that functionality
has been tested, they can continue running by using ascii-only names.
The use of UTF-8 filenames doesn't seem to be a problem in my case. The fact
that I have 1,600+ url-encoded filenames/directories and no clear way to
convert them IS however. In regards to testing of any filename conversion, I
make backups religiously (thanks to the brilliantly simple Dokuwiki flat
files) so would have no problem reverting if something goes wrong.
