- Does MediaWiki have the ability to check for bad links/link checker

MediaWiki can detect broken links to internal pages and list them, e.g. Special:Brokenlinks etc.
- Is upgrading from 1.8.x to 1.10.x okay to do OR do you recommend going
from 1.8.x to 1.9.x to 1.10.x?
I recommend going from 1.8.x to 1.9.3; 1.10.x hasn't been released just yet.
- I have gotten my bulk import to work using an XML file and
Special:Import page. Is there another way that you could bulk export ALL your records without have to do it manually using the Special:Export page? I suppose I could extract from MySQL table just the page titles... and then paste into the Special:Export page but just thought I'd check first on the listserv.
