Forwarding. Pine <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CatherineMunro/Bright_Places> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jon Robson &lt;jrobson(a)wikimedia.org&gt; Date: Mon, Feb 5, 2018 at 10:57 AM Subject: [Wikitech-l] Life hack: Working with production content in your local wiki To: Wikimedia developers &lt;wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; I've been meaning to document this for a while. If you're finding yourself visiting Special:Export/Import often for the purpose of MediaWiki development there is a much better way to get content into your local wiki for testing purposes. This short video explains how MobileFrontend extension provides tooling to help you debug live on-wiki content via $wgMFContentProviderClass [1] https://youtu.be/uRQzjN0hBlY Hope it saves someone lots of time!
