Would it be safe to strip out the <redirect />
tags from the xml and
reimport, or will that cause other problems?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi,
I saw this thread back in October where someone was having trouble
importing the English Wikipedia XML dump:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2009-October/045594.html
The thread back in October seemed to end without resolution, and the
tools still seem to be broken, so has anyone found a solution in the
meantime?
I'm using mediawiki-1.15.1 and attempting to import
enwiki-20100130-pages-articles.xml.bz2.
None of these options seem to work:
1) importDump.php
fails by spewing "Warning: xml_parse(): Unable to call handler in_()
in ./includes/Import.php on line 437" repeatedly
2) xml2sql (
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Xml2sql):
Fails with error:
xml2sql: parsing aborted at line 33 pos 16.
due to the new <redirect> tag introduced in the new dumps?
3) mwdumper (
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MWDumper):
Current XML is schema v0.4, but the documentation says that it's for 0.3
4) mwimport (
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps/mwimport):
Fails immediately:
siteinfo: untested generator 'MediaWiki 1.16alpha-wmf', expect trouble
ahead
page: expected closing tag in line 35
Any tips?
Thanks!
Eric

Most of these errors are caused by the new(ish) <redirect /> tag
within <page> elements. 0.4 is the correct version of the schema,
but unfortunately the schema was updated and dumps were
produced using them before the changes made it into a release.
1.15.1 cannot import pages with <redirect />, we should probably
backport that. That, and we should rewrite the importers to not barf
terribly when they encounter an unknown element.
