| Hi all. Newbie here.
Hi. :-)
You must use mwdumper not importDump.php. It is most complex - you need at
least two steps if not used pipe, but it is only right and quick way for
very big wikis. importDump.php has still bugs and even if works, works as
slow as snile (it's truth).
Look

Using mwdumper with --order & --format you must preserve this sequence. If
you code for ex. ... --format=sql:1.5 --output=blabla ... you not get .sql
but not converted .xml :-))
