Pages without the charset= attribute are assumed to have the current charset 
and no conversion is done. Unless a $DefaultPageCharset entry sets a default 
charset.

You should set this line in config.php

  $DefaultPageCharset = array(''=>'ISO-8859-1');

For wikis in other ISO charsets, for a long time there has been a problem 
because they saved the page with a wrong charset attribute. These wikis should 
use, for example

  $DefaultPageCharset = array(''=>'ISO-8859-2', 'ISO-8859-1'=>'ISO-8859-2');

(if no charset, consider *-2, if charset is *-1, also consider it *-2.

This will be added in a future recipe for a UTF-8 migration, but first I need 
to figure out how to fix encoded names of disk files (on PmWiki.org I did it 
mostly manually).
