Why do we need to populate archive? Shouldn't we only do that when we plan on converting a namespace?

I think that is likely to be forgotten. I would much rather it be consistent across all the wikis.

It shouldn't be overly expensive if we don't do revision.

All small wikis and test* wikis done, will do medium after lunch.

Did this get done?

Oops, nope. It's running right now for medium.

Medium finished. I'll let it sit for a few hours and start large tomorrow morning.

For the record, commonswiki has more pages than enwiki...oh well.

Killed it...there's a memory issue somewhere:

@hoo found the culprit, Flow's ContentHandlerDefaultModelFor hook invoked LinkCache, which will grow indefinitely: T106998: LinkCache should be LRU based to avoid indefinitely growing and causing memory issues.

Restarted the script with LinkCache::singleton()->clear() statements added to avoid OOM'ing again. Not going to backport the LinkCache fix since it has scary perf implications.
