Board Thread:Support Requests - Community Management/@comment-18812574-20180501225955

So to start off I sent more or less the same question via email to staff but the response I received was not very helpful. On the Help:Merging communities page there is this part here that says:

"If there are many articles, or if you need additional technical help (such as importing into a different namespace), please contact staff first"

We currently have a wiki project that is attempting to merge into another community, and the merger has upwards of 4k articles. We've been doing batch deletes on unused images, have been transferring articles via category imports, and the like... but at our current rate it's gonna take a very long time to get everything exported, and the results won't be satisfactory because we'd be missing a lot of data, such as images, logs, message walls, etc. So that said, is there any additional support that staff can give us?

If not, is there a way to handle large imports at one time? Such as an XML database import?
