<pre wrap="">One thing I didn't like in the conversion scripts was that the default
conversion will take the latest version of a page, revise it, and
create a new revision. While useful for debugging the migration, I
found it caused two problems:
* The "abandoned pages" list was suddenly invalid, because every
page had been updated!
* Looking at the history for any given page, and viewing an
older version didn't work, because the pre-1.6 syntax was
preserved for the older revisions
So when I did the migration, I updated the conversion script to update
all revisions of a document, and *not* add a new revision of each
page.

Yeah, it's a bit a matter of taste what mode one prefers for that.
I'll have a look at your patch.

I suspect the patch is useful to other people.<br>

That's no problem, moin has some builtin redirect magic for that case.
Try accessing a URL .../foo_bar when page "foo_bar" does not exist but
"foo bar" does.

Hmmm - I probably should have tested that further. Well, I had greater
than 20 wikis to work with, so not doing the name migration saved me a
bunch of hassle. Doesn't matter now.<br>

What exactly do you mean?

There are differences between <<FullSearch>>,
<<FullSearch()>>, <<FullSearch(linkto:NNNN)>>,
and <<FullSearch(category:NNNN)>><br>
<br>
On category pages where we had (old syntax) [[FullSearch]], apparently
that used to work the same as [[FullSearch()]], and now it seems that
<<FullSearch>> and <<FullSearch()>> are
different. In any case, it may be desirable to change to using the new
<<FullSearch(category:NNNN)>> syntax.<br>
