      Please PM me a link and forum account that can see this issue. I cannot duplicate it here, and the vw_Encode_Model shows as unchanged since February.

      Did you already fix this? I looked at the link you sent me and can't find any issues with the characters in the wiki content and the wiki links on the page are working for me.

      I can only duplicate the behavior if I force my browser to use ISO-8859-1 encoding on the page shown. If I allow the browser to auto-detect the encoding from the page's meta tag, it displays as expected. If I use alternate browsers, the page still displays as expected for me.

      hmmmm but this is no solution for me or the other german community - because i have at different browsers default settings applied also here at the office and its not working, maybe in US you have other defaults in browsers - and not everybody changes settings for something like this and they do not know where to change this because normally you never need something like this, me too - they leave the homepage .....

      And before the update to beta 1 - it was working without problems ..... there must be any issue since change beetween this to releases -- I need a fix for this - in the German language we can not work without this letters as ö,ä,ü ... we have this in every 3rd or 4th word ...

      Thanks for a bugfix here - its very important

      When I get a chance I will have to try a different computer. I have tried every major browser I could think of, including all IEs from 7 - 10. I tried installing the German localization of Firefox and it is still working correctly. I cannot get it to exhibit the behavior you describe. Even if I use the wrong settings, if I go somewhere else and come back to the page it gets fixed. I can only reproduce the problem if I am already on the page and it looks correct, but then I purposely go into settings and change it to be wrong. I don't think you're doing that.

      Please check your .htaccess file for a line like AddDefaultCharset
      I don't see a default charset in the response headers sent by the web site, but if there is a line like that, it might be conflicting with the meta tag in the HTML that says which charset to use.

      What versions of each browser have you tried?

      It's also possible that for your user only, the page output has started before the opening of the HTML document. This would revert the charset to the browser default. First try to visit the effected wiki pages with a different user account. Also, please check the HTML source for the page and check that there is no information before the DOCTYPE declaration.

      Ok i have tried now in different browser (IE 10, Safari, Firefox 21)

      When i log out with the user - the issue with the links not shown ö,ä.. is gone - when i log in again it is again the old issue
      The issue is also there with an other user - i have tried your test user there i have again tü, ögl, ...

      As well an interessting issue is -> in the sideblock activity stream -> i have Ö,Ä ... ?! - when i log out it changes - then i have there � and in the main Content are the ä,ö are back ?!

      When i log in and check the html Output i found there something with "charset=ISO-8859-1" i think this is the Problem? (-> which chartset is correct to fix this issue? --- i had a look to Wikipedia an the 8859-1 is Default in western Europa for the systems)) What do you mean with doctype declaration? the document there starts with "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTM ....." in this text is then after the charset all the meta description ..

      With the charset in .htaccess i have not found anything

      I hope you have an idea with this new Information

      thanks for your help

      The correct charset is UTF-8 on wiki pages, because that has support for the most number of languages. If the headinclude has ISO-8859-1 in it, that means that headinclude is parsing before the end of init_startup when VaultWiki chooses the charset, or another mod is changing the charset back after VaultWiki already chose UTF-8.

      We can force it to change back to the wiki charset in this fringe case by modifying a plugin. In vault/core/model/plugins/general/vb3.php, find:
      Code:
      		$output = str_replace('&lt;!-- VW NAVBAR PLACEMENT --&gt;', $navbar, $output);
      Add before:
      Code:
      		if (
			defined('VW_SCRIPT') AND
			THIS_SCRIPT === 'vw_' . VW_SCRIPT AND
			preg_match('#(&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html\; charset=)(.+)(" /&gt;)#iU', $output, $match) AND
			strtoupper($match[2]) != VW_CHARSET
		)
		{
			$output = str_replace($match[0], $match[1] . VW_CHARSET . $match[3], $output);
		}
