Hello everybody,
I am new to this. I am currently trying to mirror en.Wiktionary.org on my computer so that I can browse it smoothly even on my slow college net and partly just for fun.
I have installed MediaWiki (SVN 12apha). I have imported the pages.article.xml.bz2 data dump (http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiktionary/20080213/enwiktionary-20080213-pa...). All is fine but it seems that it hardly contains any pages of Template namespace, hence I am getting the weird - Template:Shortcut, etc. thrown up every where. I have tried manually creating some pages and coping the code from the original site, but there are too many templates to be copied. Is there any more data dumps that actually has this data, or there is some alternative saner method? Pls help I am stuck. :(
Regards, Apple Grew my blog @ http://applegrew.blogspot.com/

I don't know much about database dumps, but it may be because you didn;t rebuild links? --VasilievVV
Thanks for the reply. Let's hope. I have started the rebuild links process. It is already over 6hrs and it is still in progress.
I will report here if that fixes the problem. BTW anymore insights?
