Also, it would be nice in the conversion if you could delete blank wikipedia articles so the articles that link to them become question marks again and this won't mess up the now useless Stub Articles page.
That would cause a major rewrite in the conversion script (it is supposed to run only once in a lifetime, so it is not the most universal script I ever wrote...) I could add a "Delete empty pages" functions for administrators, though.
Well, a similar suggestion would be great: I'd like it to be the case that, if a page is completely blank, the page history might still exist, but in any case links to the page would show up as clickable blue question marks. That would remove the need for me to permanently delete pages the contents of which happen to have been completely deleted, *if* we want links to those pages to show up as clickable blue question marks. (I hope that's clear.)
OK, I'm going to pack this computer now, which means I'll be using the laptop for the next week or two, which means it'll be less likely I'll be online so often.
