I have no intention of re-converting the data, so yes fixups will not be squashed. I've got a small bot script right now that if there's a change that needs to happen pretty universally across the entirety wiki it can be run (it's written in perl, reads in the page text, runs the conversion and re-uploads it), so if there's something that's particularly repetitive people can get me some code that would fix the problem.

So again short answer: I'm at the point where I'd rather clean-up what we've got then try and re-import the data.
