They should be contained. As it sais on the download page: "Articles, templates,
image descriptions, and primary meta-pages."
Thanks Daniel. I know that the templates are contained in
pages-articles.xml.bz2. However as you said that Mwdumper may not be
importing the templates, my question was how to do import it then?
Another thing I noticed (with the Portuguese Wiki
which is a much
smaller dump than the English Wiki) is that the number of pages imported
by importDump.php and MWDumper differ i.e. importDump.php had much more
pages than MWDumper. That is way I would have preferred to do this using
importDump.php.
The number of pages should be the same. soudns to me that the import with
mwdumper was simply incomplete. Any error messages?
Actually was intending to start a separate thread on this topic –
because both Mwdumper and importDump.php both report that they are
Skipping certain pages. I did not note down the error that I received
from Mwdumper – but the errors from importDump.php look like what is below.
Skipping interwiki page title '<Page_Title>'
Anyway both have the word “Skipping …” as part of their error. I do not
have the actual figures – but I noticed that importDump.php seemed to
have more pages than Mwdumper. (I unfortunately did not save the output
– so I cannot compare how many times I got these errors.)
Also in a
previous post, you mentioned about taking care about the
“secondary link tables”. How do I do that? Does “secondary links” refer
to language links, external links, template links, image links, category
links, page links or something else?
THis is exactly it. YOu can rebuild them using the rebuildAll.php maintenance
script (or was it refreshAll? something like that). But that takes *very* long
to run, and might result in the same memory problem you experienced before.
Yes, the script is called rebuildall.php and mentioned in
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Importing_XML_dumps#Using_mwdumper
– As you mentioned I was expecting memory problems with this too since
importDump.php is already having memory issues.
The alternative is to download dumps of these tables and improt them into mysql
directly. They are available from the download site.

I would try to import the Tables tomorrow to see what I get.
Thanks again,
