Revision as of 16:26, 30 October 2005
Every current mediawiki has a Special:Import and Special:Export function. I just tested it with page Discordian Pope and it worked. I used Wikipedia:Special:Export, entered the page name i wanted, saved the file to disk and uploaded it to our wiki using Special:Import.
Notice that creating the new imported page did not show up in the recent changes, only the next edit after that. I just wanted to test this feature and maybe we want to copy some very specific pages from wikipedia or other mediawikis, but dont take this as a call to import a large number of wikipedia pages, after all we want to have our own content mainly and not look like these money makers who copy the complete wikipedia.
You could also use this feature to write applications for offline wiki editing that create files that are compatible for import. mutante 17:11, 30 October 2005 (CET)
