How to export
[edit]Do not use Special:Export, as it will only return 1000 revisions at a time, and some of the other documented features do not currently work.
- Instead, use
http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Export&history=1&action=submit&pages=ARTICLE_NAME
or {{export}} - Save the file as something.xml
- Use a find/replace feature of a text editor and find all "
</username>
" and replace it with "@en.wikipedia.org</username>
" - Save. You should now be ready to import the file via Special:Import on another MediaWiki wiki.
