Also, the __underlining__ and ^superscript^ syntax of MoinMoin doesn’t appear 
to be supported by MediaWiki, and the import process made no attempt at 
translation.  

That’s not a big deal IMO; those typefaces are used infrequently and can be 
addressed manually as we come across them.

Another note: MoinMoin didn’t have dedicated Talk: pages the way MediaWiki 
does, so many “content” pages also have meta-discussions on them. We should 
move any such discussions to the Talk: pages which are now available (i.e. 
separate content from discussion).

In that vein, MoinMoin supported <<macro syntax like this>> which was used for 
date- and time-stamps for discussion. Like underlining and superscripting, it 
appears the import process made no attempt to convert macros.
