I've tried searching, but with little success. I'm hopeful that someone can explain to me, in reasonably small words, how to properly populate the "Help" namespace on my new Wiki.
Unfortunately, there is no easy way (unless someone implemented one while I wasn't looking) of downloading all the documentation developed on meta (or the other set which seems to have sprung up on mediawiki.org). (I guess we could really do with an export-by-namespace option, which would work if we moved the relevant templates from their current Template:h* home...)
The best you can do, I think, is get (or make) a list of all the pages you want, use Special:Export to plonk them all in an XML file, and then Special:Import (that does work now, right folks?) to shove them in your own wiki. I make no guarantees about the technical or legal validity of these instructions, but it oughta work...
