Thanks Daniel. I know that the templates are contained in pages-articles.xml.bz2. However as you said that Mwdumper may not be importing the templates, my question was how to do import it then? > >> Another thing I noticed (with the Portuguese Wiki which is a much >> smaller dump than the English Wiki) is that the number of pages imported >> by importDump.php and MWDumper differ i.e. importDump.php had much more >> pages than MWDumper.

Any error messages? > Actually was intending to start a separate thread on this topic – because both Mwdumper and importDump.php both report that they are Skipping certain pages. I did not note down the error that I received from Mwdumper – but the errors from importDump.php look like what is below. Skipping interwiki page title '<Page_Title>' Anyway both have the word “Skipping …” as part of their error. I do not have the actual figures – but I noticed that importDump.php seemed to have more pages than Mwdumper. (I unfortunately did not save the output – so I cannot compare how many times I got these errors.) >> Also in a previous post, you mentioned about taking care about the >> “secondary link tables”.

Yes, the script is called rebuildall.php and mentioned in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Importing_XML_dumps#Using_mwdumper – As you mentioned I was expecting memory problems with this too since importDump.php is already having memory issues. > > The alternative is to download dumps of these tables and improt them into > mysql > directly.
