 Subject: [Mediawiki-l] xml export - editing - import

 Hi. I tried to export some articles from my wiki, do  
 mass-search-and-replace and import them replacing old 
 versions, but import  
 xml specialpage doesn't replacing imported pages :( What can 
 i do to make  
 mass-search-and-replace without access to server shell?

It will only replace pages with a newer timestamp. Make sure to increase
the timestamp in the XML file before you import.
