Hi all

Don`t know if it`s the right place to ask, but trying anyway...

I`ve tried to install on my pc a wikipedia dump from download.wikipedia.org:

• I installed mediawiki-1.9.0rc2 on php 5.1.6 and mysql 4.1.22
• I downloaded and imported on mysql the

itwiki-20061021-pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 (I was interested keeping history, the 20061021 is a dump done from mw 1.9) with mwdumper.jar.

All seems to have correctly finished, I can see all the pages, but in almost every page there are present a lot of spurious characters and texts, like "{{#if:" followed by what appear interwiki links or something like this.

What I have missed in installation? Some option in LocalSettings.php? I had this problem with also with the older dump...

Thanks,

Have you installed the ParserFunctions extension?
