* Package name : mediawiki-mwxml2sql Version : 0.0.2 Upstream Author : Ariel T. Glenn <[email protected]> * URL : https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/operations/dumps * License : GPL-2.0+ Programming Lang: C Description : Tools to help import MediaWiki XML dumps into database Tools for converting MediaWiki XML dumps into a format that can be rapidly loaded into a local instance of MediaWiki. o mwxml2sql - convert MediaWiki XML dump file into MySQL INSERT commands o sql2txt - convert MySQL INSERT commands to LOAD DATA INFILE commands o sqlfilter - filter MySQL INSERT statements with fields matching values The Wikimedia Foundation offers wikipedias and wiktionaries in nearly 300 languages. About once a month, the WMF publishes dump files of each wiki in XML format. The WMF also publishes a software, MediaWiki, that anyone may use to create their own wiki. MediaWiki can also be used to create a local mirror. To build a mirror, one must import an XML dump file into a local instance of MediaWiki. These tools are faster than those published with MediaWiki (much faster than importDump.php). Speed is important for mirroring the largest wikis such as the `enwiki'. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
