No where would I?

By clicking the "history" tab, just like with any other article.

It has been sorted though. I simply clicked on edit and there was all the info, once I saved it, it was fine. I would still love to know how/why.

Probably a caching issue: you probably viewed the main page just after you installed the new wiki, and the rendered version got cached; then, when you imported the other version directly into the database, the software didn't know to clear this cache. Consequently, the old version was loaded from the cache until you forced it to be purged [the simplest way of doing this, by the way, is to use the parameter "action=purge" in the URL].
