Do old numerical effect IDs still work?

Only on Java Edition 1.12.2 and earlier, where /effect accepted numbers such as 1 for Speed. Since 1.13 you must use the namespaced form minecraft:speed. The legacy column on this page shows reviewed 1.12.2 values only.

How do I get level II or higher of an effect?
