User:Template namespace initialisation script

This user is a script that was involved in the conversion from the MediaWiki namespace to the Template namespace. It had three phases of operation:


 * 1) Before the conversion to MediaWiki 1.3, it created redirects from Template pages to MediaWiki pages. This is so that includes will keep working after the conversion.
 * 2) After the switch, it moved everything in MediaWiki which is not an internal message to Template
 * 3) Then it worked through all the articles converting the inclusion syntax and fixing links

Like the conversion script and MediaWiki default script, this script used a user ID of zero, so its contributions are treated as though it were an anonymous user.
