Hello all,
I need to import data from another app into mediawiki to make them into mediawiki articles/pages. It's my understanding that this can be done by importing xml? If so, what is the format the xml needs to be in? Can anyone provide a walkthrough so I can create XML and import into mediawiki?
Or is there a better way than importing via xml? Maybe manually via SQL (but I don't know which tables/columns to populate to create a page)?
Thanks,
-Dan

The same format used by Special:Export, easy to figure out.

You can also use maintenance/importTextFile.php
