I would recommend https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:DumpBackup.php https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Importing_XML_dumps https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:ImportImages.php for a full wiki copy. I would compress and send the contents of your images directory along with the XML dump so that all images/files you use on your wiki can be uploaded to their wiki.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response.

We need to copy the whole content exactly as it is. If there are lines/paragraphs under a "code" then the imported/exported wiki should have the said line under a "code". All the page content should be exported/imported exactly as it is.

And we are talking not only one page but several pages.

Do you have any idea how we can speed up things?

If there is anything else, please let me know.

Thanks!

There are several ways to import/export. Are you looking to copy just page content or do you need images and/or user accounts?

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?

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. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Hi,

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!

If there is anything else, please let me know.

Thanks!
