Well, my extensive use of subpages in Poker get translated pretty badly, so I'll have to do a lot of manual fixing there. But I'm probably the worst case on that score, and I don't think the problem is that bad, and I'd much rather do it now than after 20,000 more pages are added.
I think what would help a lot is if there were added, to the conversion script, something that made [[Poker/Bluff]] (for instance) into [[Poker/Bluff|Bluff]]. It appears that what the script does right now is to convert instances of [[/Bar]] on a [[Foo]] subpage into [[Foo/Bar]]. I'd say it would be better in 95% of the cases to convert it instead into [[Foo/Bar|Bar]].
Likewise, I'd like to tweak the code for dictionary lists a bit before I add 20 more pages of poker jargon, but that too can be done post-live, and I can do the code myself as soon as it's in some reasonable source control system like Sourceforge CVS.
So I'm certainly in favor of going live.
Woo-hoo!
