Hello,
I am looking for a way to download just the templates, even just a way
to download the basic templates that you need to make an infobox would
be fine.
I have setup a mediawiki and I'm looking to use the infobox template
from wikipedia. I've tried to manually copy the template but then
realised there were too many transcluded pages and this would take me
forever, which led me to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Database_download#Downloading_t…
and it appears that quite a few other people
are asking the same
question as me. One answer that's been given is to download pages-
articles.xml.bz2, however it's 4.1G and includes all Wikipedia
articles, and not just the templates.
Could someone advise?
Thank you, Dawson
