Heh. Thanks.

I'm actually not so fond of the whole page trails feature. I think it
clutters the page needlessly. You can turn it off in user prefs, but I
plan to turn off the default too.

Good point. Not quite sure why that happened. I guess that title must
have appeared in the original raw copy of the zwiki moin pages. We
probably could have made the script strip them out if we had realised,
but I'm afraid we're stuck with it now. I'm not sure is worthwhile (or
wise) to write a script now to strip out these headings automatically.
Btw. did this happen for absolutely all pages, or just some?

We wrote this script basically from scratch (mostly SteveA) to do this
job. In doing so we have now discovered several things that could be
done better, including transferring images, and now this. So that's been
valuable experience. We will now share the script with the Moin
community, who have also been a great help in preparing this move, and
we'll pass on these lessons as well.

Thanks for the feedback :)
