Whoever did the conversion (Lee? Magnus?), what exactly did you run? For
Usemode-to-phase II conversion there is a *separate* script
(recaseLinks.php) that does the renaming/case correction, which is to be
run after importing the data into MySQL.
* /Talk-pages should have been converted into the
Diskussion:-namespace
(like the /Diskussion-pages). It didn't work, but a "See also: " (should
be: "Siehe auch:") has been inserted.

have been integrated into the database. Or is it better to do this
later?
The usemod wikis are configured to destroy old items in the edit
histories after a few weeks. For some reason, no one's ever paid any
attention whenever I've pointed this out on the mailing lists.
Unless someone has regular backups going back to the beginning and wants
to figure out how to paste them together, they're gone.
