All the automatic migration of the pages should be done.
To check if there are some inconsistency in the migration:
Links pointing to:

• trac wiki should be pointing to GH wiki
• trac ticket number should be pointing to GH issue

The attachments are missing!! This is being done.

Links to tickets not working. See for example CodeCampIX.

Trac is using a query to find the tickets on this page. You might be able to do something similar using filtering on github issues [1]

Need to change ticket references from /ticket/#. Stackoverflow answer [2] is to use ../issues/# instead. However, this doesn't work from wiki preview, so use /SasView/sasview/issues/#.

Also note that some tickets were moved to /SasView/sasmodels/issues/#.

Thanks @pkienzle !
The script didn't get this links: <a href="/ticket/1259" title="View ticket">#1259</a>... It was looking for <a href="trac.sasview.org/ticket/1259"....
It should be fixed now.

Attachements and images migrated. See for example: https://github.com/SasView/sasview/wiki/Tutorials_KU_SAS
More testing needed to find problems.

Anchors ('#') not working: Trac uses class for anchors, Markdown uses headers:

Example in the original html:

<a class="wiki" href="http://trac.sasview.org/wiki/Tutorials/KU/SAS#intro">Introduction</a> 

(...)

<h2 id="Introduction"><span class="wikianchor" id="intro">Introduction</span></h2>

Raw conversion to MD:

[Introduction](http://trac.sasview.org/wiki/Tutorials/KU/SAS#intro){.wiki} 

(...)

[Introduction]{#intro .wikianchor} {#Introduction}
