    I believe the plan was that new-MSO started counting post IDs at (last old-MSO post ID + 1), and IDs below that got redirected to MSE. Commented Apr 9, 2014 at 12:31

    That's precisely how we're going to do it. The first MSO (new) post ID will be the last MSE post ID +1, anything below it just redirects. We're also rebaking content to correct links where we control them, and not relying solely on the redirects to work. Commented Apr 9, 2014 at 13:57

    @TimPost why not a review queue? :P A couple hundred thousand posts shouldn't take too long, right? Commented Apr 10, 2014 at 2:15

    @TimPost But you'll re-redirect (or not redirect at all) if it was a question moved from Meta.SE to Meta.SO, like those few hundred Stack Overflow questions, right? (Just checking! Redirection loops/failures on day 1 would be good to avoid.) Commented Apr 11, 2014 at 7:25
  • Right. The way redirects work, we should be able to get a URL that points at MSO redirecting to MSE redirecting via a migration path back to MSO without much drama. Commented Apr 14, 2014 at 21:28
