If I start with a clean install of 1.16 mw, and my exiting 4.0.6 vb, and then import all of my old pages, will my vb users be able to full use/contribute to the wiki? Will they see their contributions as long as their vb user name is the same as the mw username, even though the mw uername table will now be empty (aside from the admin)? It seems like this might really clean up my systems. Thanks for any advice.

I did some tests, because I've never used the import thing until now...

The result is, that importing a page also contains the user name, so it would show the creators user name even if the user does not exist in vb.
If the user exists, then all his pages will still be his contibutions.

But there is a problem: the vb user wiki stats will show '0' created/edited pages.
... I'll look into it... will try to fix that, but only if i'is possible without making a db query every time the user profile is shown... else it would be bad for the performanc
