Comment 1 Zigger 2004-11-28 04:27:28 UTC
Changed URL to one with a smaller character set and no sub-page: 
http://es.wiktionary.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=ouija&diff=3971&oldid=3825

en.wiktionary.org & fr.wiktionary.org seem ok.
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2004-11-28 06:27:10 UTC
Many compressed old text entries are corrupt on es.wiktionary.org; it seems to be a side effect of a 
botched latin-1 to UTF-8 conversion. Am trying to see if the corruption is reversible or if we have 
backups...
Comment 3 Brion Vibber 2004-11-28 07:22:43 UTC
The corruption is not reversible, as four byte values are not valid in the CP1252->UTF-8 conversion and 
all are changed to the same output value. Will need to restore affected entries from backup.
Comment 4 Brion Vibber 2004-11-28 07:44:25 UTC
I've retrieved what seems to be the pre-conversion database dump, and should be able to recover all 
damaged data from it. In the meantime I've locked the wiki against further editing; should be back up 
within a few hours.
Comment 5 Brion Vibber 2004-11-28 09:14:46 UTC
I've recovered the affected revisions from backup, it looks ok.

Please let us know immediately if any further problems like this turn up!
