Hello, I restarted up the Adobe Wiki back in Wikia days after it had been closed down due to lack of traffic. I happened to download an XML of it without truly understanding how it worked and rebuilt the wiki through brute copy-and-paste from the Internet Archive and what I could understand from the XML file. Now that I have more experience with having successfully merged other wikis, I realize that I could have saved myself a lot of time by just importing the XML as a starting point and retained the edit history going back to 2007.

So here's the question: what would happen if I imported that XML now? Since the Wiki is about 9x larger now, I suppose that would limit the risk to screwing up only 1/9 of the wiki if I have no idea what I'm doing. Would it magically attach older edit histories to newer versions of the same articles, or would sadness and regret ensue? Please enlighten me! Thanks in advance.
