Is there any program that can access the wiki page files directly and extract them putting them onto the new wiki site? Would want to save this way as a sort of last resort due to the time and energy involved with it.

Hi Christopher,
When you press the upgrade button it initiates a command which takes care
of
everything including the update script. So really there's nothing to do
or
that can be done unfortunately.
You could install your old MediaWiki version ( http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/) locally, for example using XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html ).
Then use your saved database, upgrade locally to the current version of MediaWiki, do a database backup of that version (for example with MySQLDumper, http://www.mysqldumper.net) and migrate it to your production site.
