Forum:Problem with Special:Import - can't import page history

Hi, I'm trying to export pages from Wikia to my local MediaWiki installation. I want to give credit where its due, but I can only get the Import function to work if its 'current revision only', not with the whole page history. Also, just using the database dump doesn't work at all.

Can I fix this? If not, what are my options? --24.196.131.242 11:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Is it a matter of the size of the file you are trying to import? You may need to reduce the number of pages you import at a time -- Sannse 11:45, 16 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Have you unchecked the box below? That was my mistake, I didn't notice it at first. – Smiddle 16:00, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

If I uncheck the box, I can get an XML file, but it won't import. It just says 'Unknown import source type'. The only way I can get it to work is by exporting a few pages at a time, with the box checked so it's current version only. --24.196.131.242 08:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
