I am trying to include within an import (using Special:Import) some text for editors, below: <!-- list your name below this line --> 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.

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. &lt!;-- your text --&gt; Thanks again.
