User blog comment:Ultimate Mario Gamer 2/Proposal for Exporting and Importing Pages/@comment-303594-20140316185018

But you can still edit the pages and get the content that way.

Exporting is better because it saves the details of who wrote the article, so that the new page can be properly attributed to the user who wrote it. Also, if a wiki wants to split or merge, they can do it without staff help.
