Function Details:

The bot will be converting various review-related talk-page templates to the new {{ArticleHistory}}, including {{featured}}, {{facfailed}}, {{farcfailed}}, {{formerFA}}, and {{formerFA2}}. It also includes info from {{peerreview}}, {{oldpeerreview}}, {{GA}}, and some others when encountered. Initial priority are the 850 or so pages left with the featured template. Enough oddities happen that this is manually supervised. Pages will be handled in groups of 25-50, up to about 100 pages per day. See contributions for some trial runs.
