They're dumped at different times, yes. A copy of the 'page' table is for reference only, and is not guaranteed to be consistent with the XML data dumps. If you're using an XML data dump you don't need a separate download of the 'page' table, just use the one created by the import.
Ok. I had missed the fact that the page.sql archive was superfluous for a simple import, sorry.
- it ends in empty pages (i.e. with the usual stub text), for ~ 5% of
the pages (that seems huge, but I don't see where the problem lies)
I don't know what this means. What "ends" in empty pages, and in what way?
I meant the renderer output, but it's irrelevant now.
Just use the page table generated from the import; it's guaranteed to be
consistent.
Thanks a lot, Brion, now it works just right.
