Re: [Wikitech-l] Downloading templates

Hello, I am looking for a way to download just the templates, even just a way to download the basic templates that you need to make an infobox would be fine. I have setup a mediawiki and I'm looking to use the infobox template from wikipedia. I've tried to manually copy the template but then realised there were too many transcluded pages and this would take me forever, which led me to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Database_download#Downloading_t… and it appears that quite a few other people are asking the same question as me. One answer that's been given is to download pages- articles.xml.bz2, however it's 4.1G and includes all Wikipedia articles, and not just the templates. Could someone advise? Thank you, Dawson _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
