There's also a command-line importDump.php script, but that's definitely only for 1.5.
I see that in .../maintenance ... Does it work? :-)
I think so - though I've never used it myself.
So would I be better off:
- building the new wiki using 1.5.x, dumping the content I need from the
old (v1.4.7) wiki, and trying to import to the new
It shouldn't make any difference moving data from one version to the other - this is why the data is exported in an XML wrapper, even if you run a script to dump the whole database, because it represents it independent of the underlying DB structures. So if you want to put off upgrading the old wiki, just install 1.5 and hope I'm right about Special:Import actually working in that version ;)
