Forum:Need urgent help importing a Wikipedia category

we recently started the Hamari Boli Wiki for an Open Language Planning initiative aimed at Hindi-Urdu Script, Style, Status & Lexical reform and modernization.

been tryin to import the Hindi-Urdu category from Wikipedia but cant get thru. the resulting xml file is about 25MB so there's no way to do that, wasted 4 hours figuring that out in the first place. but it doesnt even import single articles merely a few 100KBs. tried the Special:Import tool all that i could, it just wouldnt work! all am getting is this;


 * Importing pages...


 * Import failed: No pages to import.

can any body help? we need to import all content from Wikipedia Category:Hindi-Urdu to hamariboli.wikia.com ? can anybody do that?

 * There have been some changes in the exported xml files since Wikipedia upgraded to MediaWiki 1.19. Now the two standards (Wikipedia's and Wikia's) are to longer compatible. You can find a temporary solution for this problem in this thread. Alternatively, you can wait for the upcoming MediaWiki Upgrade, which will most likely solve the issue. — Sovq 14:37, June 18, 2012 (UTC)
