:All data refreshed. There is minor issue arising from my having left the $wgServer directive set to the new server IP address, for an hour or so after going live with it. It has caused 9 'record ID's' out of about 11,000 to have 'invalid server index entries'. I don't know for sure with actual pages that involves right now but it will be those edited very soon after going live - and could be the cause of the Image problems on the pages Patrick edited. Also this page since I was quick to post a progress report on it. It's not serious and will be resolved over the next few days. Meantime please report any other issues. --[[User:Peter|Peter P]] ([[User talk:Peter|talk]]) 09:12, 17 January 2014 (GMT)
