User:Conversion script

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The "conversion script" was the script which converted Wikipedia from usemod format to the phase II format. This conversion occurred in February 2002. Originally, no history could be seen from before the conversion occurred — every article which existed before phase II appeared to have been started by the conversion script. Brion has now managed to extract most history from usemod and has added it to the database. However, the conversion script entries in history remained, in most cases appearing to perform whatever was the last edit prior to the conversion. See also Wikipedia:Usemod article histories.
