I would issue an announcement:

"If you have used Special:Import, ...., ....,
since approximately .....
please check your imported pages for subtle corruptions, e.g.,
< Please see my [http://example.com/index.php?title=Resume&uselang=en resume]
> Please see my [http://example.com/index.php?title=Resumeuselang=en resume]
Unnoticed, there corruptions may become entangled in later edits,
making repair even more frustrating.
Users are advised to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.14.xx, 1.13.yy,..
The new versions of Special:Import,...
contain a test that will terminate with an error message:
The following faulty libraries out of MediaWiki's control and must be
updated first to avoid data corruption: ..."

I hope I'm not overdoing it, but subtle data corruption is one of the
most insidious bugs.
