:As for the issues you noted, you might want to check logs, and see if any pages in particular are giving you issues. There are a few pages with weird (typically ASCII) symbol codes, or NBS characters, which can mess with API calls. You might want to see if you can identify specific problematic pages, and exclude them, so you can archive the rest (if you are able to do so at all, with this wiki version). --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 02:16, September 16, 2021 (EDT)

What features were removed and can I help to migrate to something new?  [[User:John6|John6]] ([[User talk:John6|talk]]) 18:26, September 17, 2021 (EDT)
