Eric, if you would do that, that would be splendid. Thank you. I
prefer GameNameTextVersion, because it's consistent with the earlier
page names, and also more descriptive -- after all, the PDF that a
game's page links to is also a form of its rules, and usually a more
complete one, since it may contain necessary graphics.

I used something similar to migrate from MoinMoin. It probably won't
cause problems if you do it quickly and carefully. However, you will
need to coordinate it with me, because I will have to temporarily turn
off certain features of the wiki, such as the one that only lets you
access (IIRC) 10 pages in 20 seconds (meant to discourage spambots). I
will also want to back up the wiki before you run your scripts.

Thanks again.

Ron
