Description

These two edits are generated by perfectly equivalent CSV rows:
http://wikipapers.referata.com/w/index.php?title=Factors_That_Influence_the_Quality_of_Crowdsourcing&diff=prev&oldid=24760
http://wikipapers.referata.com/w/index.php?title=WeeVis&oldid=24763

The first, however, is an edit to an existing page (set to "Overwrite only fields contained in the file", IIRC) and produce some additional escaping: "Infobox Publication[references]" column had the first {{ and last }} converted to {{ and }} respectively.

Doesn't make this fantastic tool any less useful, but may be useful to know.

The replacement of {{ and }} seems to be solved in V 1.3. I have not seen it currently. I replaced {{ by {{ and }} by }} with Extension:ReplaceText every time it occured.
