Hello,
I can verify that uploading MediaWiki dumps works.
I was able to successfully import (using *nothing but the built in MW
tools*)
ba.wikipedia.org to
test.kgprog.com in a few minutes with a
brand new installation of MW 1.9.3.
The list of things that I had to do (in case Merkey really does want
to learn how to do this):
* Download MediaWiki
* Download the dump (for BA wiki and this test it was
http://download.wikipedia.org/bawiki/20070222/bawiki-20070222-pages-article…
)
* Install MediaWiki (many tutorials on doing this)
* Extract the XML file from the bz2 compressed file (I used bunzip2 on Linux)
* Move the extracted xml file to maintenance/dump.xml
* In a terminal cd to maintenance
* Type in "php importDump.php dump.xml"
* Wait for the dump to finish
* Type in "php rebuildrecentchanges.php"
The wiki has now been successfully created with all of the dumped
pages from Wikimedia Foundation.
