Internet Explorer has an option "Always send URLs as UTF-8". Try
turning it on if it's not already. Does that help?

Also try making a stub LanguageTr.php that looks like this:

<?php

require_once( 'LanguageUtf8.php' );

class LanguageTr extends LanguageUtf8 {
function fallback8bitEncoding() {
return "windows-1254";
}
}

?>

Drop it into languages/ and set $wgLanguageCode = "tr"; in
LocalSettings.php. This will only work if you have iconv support
compiled into PHP; otherwise it will behave the same as the default.
