Rob,
Thank you for your information. I am so new that I feel like everything I
try failed. I will try this duplicator tomorrow if I can figure out how
to add the extension. Right now I got stuck with Special:Import because I
could not create a sysop user to import the page I exported!!! I wish
there is a good book for mediawiki.
Nelson

Re: [Mediawiki-l] How to copy a page?

Looks like I am too new to converse in the right
terminology. Sounds
like
the right name for "copy" is "export
& import". However, no body cares
to
share a little more about the details of
'export/import". I assume it
is
too trivial to do that. But, somehow it seems that
"export/import" is
not
that trivial after all. There was another message
mentioned
"OpenOffice.org does mediswiki wikitext export". Does that mean this
export (/import?) function is not a media extention? do I need to
install
another software package (OOo2.3.0) and learn how to
use it together
with
mediawiki?
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.
