[Mediawiki-l] using XML page export to upgrade

[Alex Le Bek]

I am moving a wiki from one server to another and would like to upgrade at
the same time (from mediawiki-1.9.3 to mediawiki-1.10.1). Can this be done
by using the special page Export to XML of the old site and then using the
special page Import facility on 1.10.1 or will there be problems with the
XML tagging? (Would the HTML markup be fully preserved also?)

If the move+upgrade can't be done like this I assume I have to upgrade the
1.9.3 wiki version first, then mysqldump it before importing into the new
database.

Thanks
Alex
