Hello. I need a help with importing dump to my wiki. What do I have to do for this and where can I get Wikimedia's wiki dumps? Thanks for any reactions. -MGrabovsky
Look at the bottom of the pages you want to export. Often they belong to specific categories. Let's say you want to export pages belonging to category "Greenland" Select "Special pages" in the column on the left, then select "Export pages" from the list. In the field marked "Add pages from category, fill in the category you're interested in ("Greenland" in our example ). and click the Add button. you'll now get a list of all categories with substring "Greenland". If some of them don't interest you, simply erase them. Click the Export button, and choose to save the export dump to your computer. You can then import the dump in your wiki. By default, only WikiSysop users can import dumps.
Kind regards,
