Hi Ryan!
Yeah, you can use Special:Export and Special:Import to move your content from one wiki to another. If you can command-line access to the wiki server you can also use maintenance/importDump.php script as described here. It doesn't work this way with images though. For importing/exporting lots of images you NEED a command-line access to run this script [2]. That sucks but to the best of my knowledge we don't have a better tool yet.
Finally i'd recommend your company to consider using professional support: there are lots of independent specialists as well as consulting companies that can help if you feel that your case is difficult [3]

Hi,
I am a technical writer and I have a lot of questions.
Our company has been using MediaWiki for their documentation.
We have a new client that recently bought our products and now needs help in their documentation. Our product documentations are posted in our wiki site. The clients are now requesting that they have copies of our documentation.
I am also proposing that the create/build their wiki site on MediaWiki to have an easy transition with regards to the documentation. Now the process of transferring the documentation will be exporting and importing wikis.
I have found the following articles regarding importing/exporting wikis: * Help:Export: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Export * Help:Import: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Import Can you confirm that these are the articles that i need regarding importing/exporting wikis?
Is it possible to import/export our wikis to a new MediaWiki for the client?
One more thing, we also have some documents in Confluence (Atlassian Confluence 3.5.3). Is there a way to import/export them to our MediaWiki page (we call them Docs Wiki)? It also needs to completely replicate the Confluence page including the codes, images and links.
Hope you can help me on this. I would really appreciate this.
If there is anything else, please let me know.
Thanks!
PS. I am unsure if i should directly name our company and the client. This is regarding the confidentiality clause. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
