Hello,
I can verify that uploading MediaWiki dumps works.
I was able to successfully import (using *nothing but the built in MW tools*) ba.wikipedia.org to test.kgprog.com in a few minutes with a brand new installation of MW 1.9.3.
The list of things that I had to do (in case Merkey really does want to learn how to do this): * Download MediaWiki * Download the dump (for BA wiki and this test it was http://download.wikipedia.org/bawiki/20070222/bawiki-20070222-pages-articles... ) * Install MediaWiki (many tutorials on doing this) * Extract the XML file from the bz2 compressed file (I used bunzip2 on Linux) * Move the extracted xml file to maintenance/dump.xml * In a terminal cd to maintenance * Type in "php importDump.php dump.xml" * Wait for the dump to finish * Type in "php rebuildrecentchanges.php"
The wiki has now been successfully created with all of the dumped pages from Wikimedia Foundation.
