I have set up the test site at http://test-de.wikipedia.com/,
Thanks Jason! I informed the German Wikipedians and hope they'll start playing around with it soon.
I wrote down some bugs I found on http://test-de.wikipedia.com/wiki/wikipedia:Beobachtete+Fehler
But that's in German, and I don't know anybody else but Magnus will understand it. So shell I post a (bad) translated report to wikitech-l from time to time?
* The search for words with umlauts doesn't seem to work. The script doesn't find them, and when I search for more than one word (including one with umlauts) I get MySQL errors.
* The conversion didn't correct the upper and lower case problem in article titles. I thought someone made a script for this?
* And can't we prevent the loss of article histories when converting to the new format?
BTW, maybe it's possible to keep an unlimited revision history (and import the old ones) when the script is faster again, or when we change to the new server.
More complaints coming soon ... ;-)
