Should there really be a link "watch this article for me" for pages in the
special: namespace? This causes an error for the watch-page-links page, and
I think the concept of putting a generated page in a watch-list is strange
anyhow.

PS. I also saw a redirect to a special page from a conventional page. If
that happens you see the special page with the coloring of a normal page.
PPS. I think that the namespaces mentioned should always be just one: the
talk: article, and it should not be called namespace but something like
"discuss this article here".

WAIT!! It just occurred to me that there is a problem because you probably
by now have dropped the cur_linked_links and cur_unlinked_links columns,
right? The script updLinks.php assumes they are still there and gets its
information for the new tables from them. So just running it again won't
work.
No panic, the linking information is still there except we now need a
different script because we need to get it out of the cur_text field. This
is a bit of a problem because I really have to prepare some lessons for
tomorrow. Any of the other programmers feel able to do this?
