Thanks Joshua. I am intending to try two approaches. The first being to use the xml2sql and then fill the rest of the tables with the individual dumps of the Tables that are already provided in SQL. The second would be using Mwdumper – and then import the rest of the Tables using the SQL Dumps already provided to see if there are any differences.

Thanks for making this attempt. Let me know if your rebuildall.php has memory issues.
Seems fine - steady at 2.2% of memory available.
This is really getting confusing for me – because there are so many ways – all of which guaranteed to work – that work, and the one that is recommended – does not seem to work.
I think you mean "all of which are *not* guaranteed to work".
I would try out your approach too – but it would take time as I only have one computer to spare.
If you want I can just send you a database dump. Either now, or after rebuildall.php all finishes. Right now, it's now refreshing the links table, but only up to page_id 34,100 out of over 2 million pages. It'll be running for days.

Thanks for posting your experience with rebuildall.php. I think I might be able to live with the bad syntax that I get – if I cannot manage to get this to work. Thanks again, O. O.
