Description:
After installing MediaWiki 1.15.1 or updating from an older version that has set the $wgLanguageCode value to "zh-cn" or "zh-hans", the searching function will fail, displaying "The requested special page does not exist" (translated). Attempts to see the "Special pages" page will return a garbled (name) page that does not exist (not even in the "special:" namespace!).
This bug will effectively render wikis in the simplified Chinese language unusable, or very hard to use.
Version 1.15.2 of MediaWiki also has the bug.
However, the bug seems to have been resolved in MediaWiki 1.16.0beta1.
Version: 1.15.x
