Thanks Joe, that worked like a dream. I just needed to tweak it slightly.
In case anyone else uses this you need to insert a semi-colon after the first character as demonstrated below.
<!;-- your text -->
Thanks again. Paul

You need to escape the XML like characters. Use:
<!-- list your name below this line -->
In the content section of the XML you're trying to import.

It is guidance to help users know where to input their names into a 3 column table. Unfortunately although everything else imports fine this text disappears. I am assuming Mediawiki ignores it?
Is there a way to present text for editors that does not appear on the page but can be imported?
My only other idea which is a bit of a band aid is to create a template called "Put your name of the next line down"! I would put only a single space character into the page.
It would appear as {{Put your name of the next line down}} in the markup but nothing would appear on the page itself.
