The change of interpretation of the period from movement-marker to single empty square has affected a few pages. (The changes were documented in this comment thread; a bug report was made at https://www.chessvariants.com/index/listcomments.php?id=37820 .)
I have added the new functionality's description to the introduction here.
I've identified 25 affected pages, all but one of them by Charles Gilman. (I only ran the search on member-submitted pages' Pieces section. There were 4 false positives in the regex [from another author], so perhaps not all of these actually have problems. The other affected page is an old never-published submission.)
There might be a regex solution to fixing all of these pages, which seems superior to doing them by hand or splitting off a version of this script for the old period-markers, but I don't want to accidentally break anything more. I think the periods that need to be replaced can be described as those following `drawdiagram.php`...`code=`, before any closing `>` or argument-separating `&`. I'll think/look at it more later, but comments are eagerly solicited.
