You can use the Duplicator extension
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Duplicator) to make complete
independent copies of pages while retaining full histories.

Importing and exporting are core features of MediaWiki; the
announcement was a coincidence and is of interest to those attempting
to import documents which can be read in OpenOffice and thus exported
to our wiki text format for simplified use in a MediaWiki wiki.
