No, honestly I see March as a settling down period.
I'll mail you directly, so we can see what needs to be done.
I really appreciate the help.

That sounds good, just need to change the guidance after that.

I was planning to write a small bot that iterates through all pages to
fix regex-able formatting issues. Would that interfere with your
data-gathering?

I've added some simple templates to facilitate cleanup tags. Feel free
to get a web dev to polish them:
* https://wiki.qt.io/index.php?title=Template:Ambox
* https://wiki.qt.io/index.php?title=Template:Cleanup

To set up the tag, simply add the following line to the pages (a
different 'reason' can be given, if desired):

{{Cleanup | reason=Automated import from ExpressionEngine}}

Then, those pages will appear in
https://wiki.qt.io/index.php?title=Category:Articles_needing_cleanup.
We should add this page to http://qt-project.org/contribute/ for
potential contributors to find.

I've never used MediaWiki maintenance scripts before, but I know how
to use the lower-level HTTP API to iterate through every page
(excluding those in https://wiki.qt.io/index.php?title=Updated_pages )
to add the tag. Shall I do that?

Keeping track on the individual page level does make sense, but I would like to 
see what pages we actually use too. Going through the import made me wonder 
whether a lot of the pages really are used at all or are the visits random.

I have to familiarize myself more with the maintenance tool arsenal mediawiki 
provides. There probably are tools to add the cleanup needed-tag to everything 
in a simple manner.

I notice there's an "Updated Pages" page to track cleanup progress:
https://wiki.qt.io/index.php?title=Updated_pages

May I suggest doing the other way round? Apply a "cleanup required"
tag to every page, and have people remove the tag after cleanup. That
way, people who want to help with the cleanup can quickly see where to
direct their efforts.

Something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cleanup , tied to
a Tracking Category:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:All_pages_needing_cleanup

Both, as the old old wiki should not have had active content aside from the 
frontpage in two years.
Everything there should have been forwarding for a long time.
If there has been active content somewhere inside the old old wiki, please tell 
me now.

Which of the two old wikis? Both http://wiki.qt-project.org and 
http://qt-project.org/wiki?

Yes, that does look nicer.
Can you open a bug for me on bugreports.qt.io on that? Otherwise I will forget.
