To complete the conversion of the wikipedias to MediaWiki 1.3, I'm going
to run a script which does the following:
* Moves every page in the MediaWiki namespace which is not an internal
message, to the Template namespace, unless there is already a page at
the target location
* In all pages linking to the moved pages, or including a template,
{{msg:pagename}} will be converted to {{pagename}}, and
[[MediaWiki:pagename]] will be converted to [[Template:pagename]], where
pagename is the name of the moved page.
After this is done, a few technical problems involving clearing caches
when templates are changed will be fixed.
This will probably take a while. There won't be any downtime. Edits will
be attributed to "Template namespace initialisation script".
