change redirect to dedicated directory
install MW 1.20.0
try to import entire Main: namespace from old server; fail
- replace is tab, ^n ^p ^11 ^13 to ^l and finally ^l^l to ^11
try in smaller chunks of 345 pages, Main namespace successfully imported
next up: install extensions so front page doesn't look like crap...
DISABLE registrations - until antispam can be installed
ENABLE $wgSysopRangeBans - to ban of ranges of IPs
ENABLE non-admins to view the special:deleted contributions page - so spam reports can be evidenced
ENABLE wgAllowSlowParserFunctions - needed for the PAGESINNAMESPACE magic word
ENABLE $wgArticlePath $wgUsePathInfo - for short urls; had to bugger with .htaccess to do it
INSTALL CategoryTree extension.
ENABLE ConfirmEdit extension, which seems to come bundled these days. Barfed on save attempt without VisualMathCaptcha. Guess I should install that. fml Configurations are NOT in LocalSettings, but rather in ConfirmEdit
Install VisualMathCaptcha, ConfirmEdit no barf now so I configured it no nag fcking everybody. Except me.

Site-specific namespaces will be done last

import Talk: namespace... not. Too much garbage to sort through (deleted/locked notices, etc.) Conversations will have to start again from scratch.
import User: namespace (limited to known contributors, who will have to re-register due to the new database)
looks like some of the userpages got spammed...
copy over MediaWiki's common.css and .js files. Should work here, but maybe...
import Template: namespace, leaving Template talk: namespace where it is
leaving most of the Category: namespace where it is, since the structure's going to get a total makeover

How the hell to mass import the images??
