Sounds good, Bob.
Well, I got a little start on things.
There are 5900 individual reviews, each in its own file. Each one has a "header" that looks like this:
Quote:Literature/GenerationKill 19th Apr 09 Troper/{{Alhazred}} whole series review 0
Top-notch military slice-of-life.
followed by the the text of the review, which can and often does have TV-namespaced WikiWorded links in it.
Complicating matters is that my idea for a template won't work right now, because we have the review pages set up as Flow discussion pages.
So I've started looking into Flow (now called "StructuredDiscussion") to see if I can somehow structure the reviews as SQL inserts that create flow topics on the relevant review pages. This is literally in the first few hour of effort, so I have no idea if this is possible or practical. But it is at least a direction.
