[Mediawiki-l] Help with new installation

[B. M. Whealton]

I would only want to import a couple tables and any tables they 
reference.  For example, I'd want whatever table holds the reference to 
the articles which might then link to a table that actually links to the 
binary data source of the article.  I don't want to break things again 
:-) lol.
