Template:TOCleft Welcome to WikiProject Transwiki, a WikProject for helping with the transwiki process outside of the Wikimedia family. This is done by explaining how to import and export articles, linking to help with MediaWiki software, prepping templates for use outside of Wikipedia, listing available resources (including editors willing to help), and much more.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Main goals

Feel free to change these.

  1. Template "pack - a pack of commonly used templates that is pure wikicode and ready to be imported via xml file. We'll need to identify which templates should go into this basic pack.
  2. MediaWiki "pack"- similar to the template pack, a bunch of MediaWiki namespace pages that are formatted for general and easy use for most other wikis
  3. How to export- Expanding on the export/import guide, which so far is very minimal.

How to export

Do not use Special:Export, as it will only return 100 revisions at a time, and some of the other documented features do not currently work. Instead, use http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Export&pages=ARTICLE_NAME&history=1&action=submit.

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>"
