[Mediawiki-i18n] Encoding after 1.4 to 1.5 upgrade

It's a encoding problem. Your wiki is in ISO-8859-1, but showed as UTF-8
(and thus failing). If you change your browser encodign to ISO-8859-1, it
repairs (revert 201.139.53.136 edits to Portada, and probably other edits
with mixed encodings). The monobook parameters will fail (trying to show
utf-8 as ISO-8859-1 :D), but page show.
You could do two things: Change config to ask php sending ISO-8859-1
encoding in headers, instead of the current utf-8 it sends (and correct MW
messages) or convert your articles to UTF-8 (there should be some
auto-converter anywhere).
Note: This list is not intended for support. You should have pointed it on
the mediawiki-l or wikitech-l and probably you need to fill a bug, as
install updating should have handled this.

Hello for the first time.
Recently I updated my mediawiki from 1.4 to 1.5.8. Did everything the
upgrade
guide said.
First I backed up the database and the wiki/ directory too. Then I replaced
everything except LocalSettings.php, images/ and extensions/, with the
correct permissions. Created the AdminSettins.php, ran
maintenance/update.php
and refreshLinks.php. At last, php -f rebuildMessages.php rebuild, because I
had everything in "es" (like Portada instead of MainPage). Now, the problem
is that every article shows a "?" sign instead of the correct non-english
character, like accented vocals or Ñ. The content is in spanish, so there
are
a lot of words like this: "?rbol" instead of "árbol".
You can see it here:

What can I do?
If you need more info please ask.
Thanks for your time
