What does it mean in WikiAnswers history items when it says that something was imported from the old system?

WikiAnswers has gone through many growth stages since its beginnings in 2002 as FAQ Farm. One of our most significant changes came at the end of 2004 when we began converting from our fully-custom software to a customized version of the MediaWiki software (the same software used by Wikipedia and many others). This software change was so significant that it required a database "import" from our old system. Because of the import, questions and answers from before 2005 exist on WikiAnswers but they don't contain the full history and tracking that was enabled by the wiki system. Therefore, the first wiki history item records the data importation.
