[Mediawiki-l] How to copy a page?

[Jim Hu]

I don't understand what you are trying to do.  Copy the wikitext from  
the edit box or something else?  Export to xml can be done via  
Special:Export; the xml can then be imported using the maintenance/ 
importDump.php shell script.

What forms??  Does the wiki you're exporting from have extensions  
that you don't have on the recipient wiki?
