What a surprise! I checked http://www.nupedia.com/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2002-January/date.html to be sure and see no announcement that the 'pedia was cutting over to Magnus' package. http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/special:RecentChanges doesn't even list a page that obviously mentions this historic event.
Oh, well. What's done is done. But I have noticed turmoil that I can't keep up with. All the links seemed to be getting generated or interpreted incorrectly (or both), pointing to create-a-page. But links of the form http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/something worked fine. Now as I write, all seem to point to the home page. Sigh. Thrash, thrash, thrash.
I looked through the last 5,000 changes and see mostly [Automated conversion] comments.
Would one of these users who have been active care to comment?

Hi! Yes, we just did this, and it's still very much "in progress" as far as making sure all the links work. mod_rewrite is voodoo.

:-) All my fault.
Comments welcome.
