Could we add a distinction that this is for the tables desired in the new version? Otherwise people might think this is the same as the other xx which is not true.

I was under the impression that the purpose of MediaWiki-SQLite-to-MySQL was to transfer data of a MediaWiki installation from SQLite to MySQL. Is it also meant for switching MediaWiki versions in the process? If not, xx should indeed be the same in both files.

@TobiasKaiser it can do both, which is why the distinction should be made. The 1.31 vs. 1.35 in the old code, although hardcoded, was not a mistake.

Can we add a distinction here that it's referring to the old schema rather than the new schema?

As requested, the sample filenames now highlight that MediaWiki versions of input and output database can differ. |

The MySQL post-processing command in csv-to-mysql.php gave me a gew minor errors. Two SQL queries, which I discarded, referenced columns that were dropped from MW's DB schema. I added a query to fix values of the comment_data in the comment table.
I also removed two references to specific outdated MW versions.
In this form, the script worked for me when converting a MW 1.38 SQLite DB with almost no MW plugins installed to MySQL/MariaDB.
