changed everyone's from d to s.

  See the table above.
  
  - Running the current master (7.6) will do **no changed** from %d to %s when 
find a %d field except for the new  fields
  - Running the current stable (7.5.1) will **change** from %d to %s when find 
a %d field
  - Running older release 7.5 will **always fail** when find a %d field
  - Running older release 7.4 and below will **always fail on several wikis** 
when find a %d field
  - Running any release will **never fail** and no template changes are made 
when find a %s field
  - **%s fields are** backward **compatible** and upward compatible
  - new **local fields are not** backward **compatible**
  - The current master will become stable in August I guess
