Hello. I need a help with importing dump to my wiki. What do I have to do for this and where can I get Wikimedia's wiki dumps? Thanks for any reactions. -MGrabovsky

Look at the bottom of the pages you want to export. Often they belong to specific categories. Let's say you want to export pages belonging to category "Greenland" Select "Special pages" in the column on the left, then select "Export pages" from the list. In the field marked "Add pages from category, fill in the category you're interested in ("Greenland" in our example ). and click the Add button. you'll now get a list of all categories with substring "Greenland". If some of them don't interest you, simply erase them. Click the Export button, and choose to save the export dump to your computer. You can then import the dump in your wiki. By default, only WikiSysop users can import dumps.
Kind regards,
Herta
Hello,
In stead of creating a wikitext page to contain the contents of a doc file, I uploaded the doc file as an Image. It works fine until I try to update the doc file. I opened the file following the link on Image:FileX.doc page and make my changes. Since I could not save it directly, I saved it to the HD of the local machine. I then uploaded what I have just saved as a new version of the Image:FileX.doc. I did not get any error or warning so I assume it worked successfully. By now I think you know what I am going to say -- I did not get the updates. The link in Image:FileX.doc page still points to the old stuff! Anybody knows any solution? Thank you in advance.

Did you verify that it's not a browser cache issue? (Try pressing the <shift> key while hitting the browser reload button.)
FWIIW, storing docs in wikis isn't a good idea as you lose the ease of reading and updating through the browser. If you have Word documents you want to migrate to wiki, there are decent word to mediawiki conversion tools around to help you. We're using this one: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Word2MediaWikiPlus
