OK, let's try this without a flame war ;)
The history of pages has been amputated when changing to the new software, in other words, changes made before the new PHP software are not accessible. I see two problems with this:
- Lost authorship.
- Lost changes.
* As Wikipedia articles have no author, there's no authorship. * AFAIK, the UseModWiki only stored the changes of the last two weeks (or something like that). * AFAIK, there will be "old.wikipedia.com", with a patched UseModWiki that doesn't allow to edit/save articles, only view them, with the contents from before the switch. * The reason why I didn't convert the article history as well as the "current" versions is simply that I didn't figure out how to read the UseModWiki history format. I asked several times, even on the 'pedia, for help, but...
I hope that claryfies things a little.
