I'm planning to post about 100,000 dummy articles to the new server,
each with about 50 links to other random articles which may or may not 
exist.

Article titles for all of the dummy articlse will be of the form [[Dummy 
article 50672]].

This is intended to stress-test the article submission mechanism and 
database, and to test scaling to a larger Wikipedia over the longer term.
