After posting this at mediawiki.org and mwusers.com and receiving no replies at all I will try here.
I am building a large Mediwiki site which will consist of about 40k pages, all related through location.
The pages are structured/related and I have the source for the wiki 'skeleton' or schema and can massage it in Access/Excel/MySQL into any required format for an import into Mediawiki.
For example:
Florida +Miami ++South Beach +++Restaurants ++++MyRestaurant +++Bars ++++MyBar +++Shopping ++++MyShop ++North Miami +Fort Lauderdale +Palm Beach Georgia +Atlanta
I think you get the idea!
What I am looking for is to import all of this into MW with some default text which is identical for each wiki.
Is there a published format for this type of import?
Looking at the changes that exist in the database when I create a page within Mediawiki itself there appear to be changes to multiple tables; page, text, revision etc.
If someone can point me in the right direction I will publish to results of the final solution as I feel there are a number of people looking for fast wiki creation.
Thanks in advance for ANY input, Paul
