How about just moving the whole wiki there rather than copying it page by page?

I see no point in keeping in what was supposed to be an archive of
content that had to be removed from the English Wikipedia in an
editable form as a unwanted pseudo-Wikimedia project. It is not well
maintained, as a check of the main page's history will show before I
resorted to protecting it. Considering the difficulty in getting any
new project approved by Wikimedia, including a lot of very worthwhile
ideas, I don't see the point in keeping one controversial,
monolingual, biased wiki that has no community.

I really think this would be an ideal opportunity to find a new home for it.

Angela.
