	** Trying to fix these (at least the WantedPages issue) will be saved for the next MediaWiki upgrade. As for the mdash I'm frankly just not sure I can fix that anymore with the changes that they've made to the software since the early days. When I DO try to fix it it ends up corrupting the articles. I will try again during the next upgrade (which I'll start shortly after migrating in the new server), but given the amount of grief it's caused trying to fix it's not a high priority for me. Out of curiosity, is there anything preventing us from just changing it to &mdash or is it just the work of editing old pages?
