Description
So I converted my DB to unicode and set $wgDBmysql15 to true. Now FCKeditor fails to convert HTML links to WikiSyntax. Links just stay as <a _fcknotitle="true" href="link">link</a>.

- Summary changed from Links not converted to WikiSyntax with experimental charset support on to Links not converted to WikiSyntax with UTF8 DB
Title changed accordingly.

Huh.
Turns out this has nothing to do with encodings at all, but it is a valid bug.
When I turn on "Show preview on first edit" in my Preferences, the extension doesn't convert the HTML (created by the editor) to WikiSyntax.

Hello everyone,
I use wikimedia 1.15.1 and I do experience a similar problem. My link are turned to something like that : <a _fcknotitle="true" href="link">link</a>, after edition.
I tried to fixe it with the [3364] resolution way, but all the changes said there are already done ! :s
If someone had an idea ?
Thank you!

Hi, I created a patch that fix external links with my installation with mediawiki 1.15.1 and FCKeditor 2.6.6.
Hope this helps.

FCKeditor was retired and is no longer supported. All active development was moved to its successor, CKEditor 3.x, that is a fully mature and far superior product. We recommend you upgrade as soon as possible.

Just tested with $wgDBmysql15 set to false. Still happens.
Seems this only has to do with the DB's charset.
