Does anyone have experience importing the Wikipedia XML Dumps into MediaWiki. I made an attempt with the English Wiki Dump as well as the Portuguese Wiki Dump, giving php (cli) 1024 MB of Memory in the php.ini file. Both of these attempts fail with out of memory errors.
Don't use importDump.php for a whole wiki dump, use MWDumper http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MWDumper
MWDumper doesn't fill the secondary link tables. Please see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Importing_XML_dumps for detailed instructions and considerations.
Also keep in mind that the english wikipedia is *huge*. You will need a decent database server to be able to process it. I wouldn't even try on a desktop/laptop.
