Dear all,
We made a transfer from a wiki database version 1.2.2 to version 1.3.10. All the articles we wrote in the old data base were well transfered but articles concerning Wiki Help, tutorials, etc... are empty, but these articles contain text in the old database. In fact, all the articles containing "wikipedia:" in the link seem to be empty after the transfer...
We would like to know if there is a possibility to get all these "wikipedia:" articles in the new database as they are in the old database (in fact ALL the articles) or if these kind of articles are always empty in all databases transfers (these articles are always empty when creating a fresh installation of a database)?
Many thanks for help and sorry for my english.
Best regards, Philippe Roth Switzerland

Check your namespaces and interwiki links. Namespaces and defined interwiki prefixes obscure any titles with the literal prefix in their titles that are contained in the main article namespace: these should not generally happen, unless you're changing configurations without properly fixing up after it.
