Forum:Import pages no longer works on any wikia. What's going on?

Import pages hasn't worked for weeks now. I try importing my .XML files I exported from Wikipedia, and it says "Import failed: No pages to import." What's going on? When an article is up for deletion on Wikipedia, I try to transwiki it and its entire history to the appropriate wikia if there isn't an article for that already there. I also have a Wikipedia template and its related templates I'm trying to transwiki over now to use.  D r e a m Focus  06:17, March 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, this has been an issue since Wikipedia upgraded to MediaWiki 1.19 and the exported files have now a slightly different structure. There's a new set of tags added to them:

 0 ....
 * you can still import pages if you edit the .xml file and remove:

 0
 * from the file. I recommend reporting this through Special:Contact to get a more satisfying fix. — Sovq 07:12, March 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Sovq a relate question then is what can you use to edit xml files then directly ? I came across this import not working problem a few weeks ago but thought it was just a upload glitch and went back to C&P method with backlink attribution as it was for image files rather than articles. 88.104.134.191 09:11, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
