As for malicious clients, I might be a little worried about that but this wiki is firewalled off and protected by .htaccess besides. Strictly internal stuff. I hate to hit you up for more information considering how helpful you've been already, but I notice you're the author of the importUseMod php script included in the mediawiki distribution. I've got a UseMod wiki I'm trying to upgrade to mediawiki, but this script says it's no longer accurate for a UseMod upgrade. Is there a better way one can import UseMod content into Mediawiki? Thanks much. jf

I should get rid of that one, it's broken. :) Also, I've just made a change which is in the CVS branch for adding [[brackets]] to CamelCase and /Subpage links during import. I just posted about this in response to a question on wikitech-l, check the list archives at mail.wikipedia.org. A couple additional notes: the generated dump doesn't include the link tables or search index, so run refreshLinks.php and rebuildtextindex.php after importing to update those for all pages. Also user accounts are not imported, since UseModWiki's user system is very different and it's not easy to map them in, but the edit attributions are retained by name. If you want Special:Contributions to work after recreating the accounts you'll need to run through the cur and old tables to update the cur_user and old_user fields with the appropriate user_id numbers. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
