Help:Contents export

This page contains some suggestion on how to transfer content from one wiki to another.

XML Import/Export

The easiest way to transfer content (including property/value declarations) is by using MW's XML Import/Export page.

It is recommended that:

• Pages that contain administrative content (import vocabulary declaration, allows pattern declaration etc.) should be listed first
• Category and property pages (Category/Property:...) should follow administrative content (this ensures that property declarations are created before any other page during the import)
• Templates should be listed before normal content pages

Example

MediaWiki:Smw_import_foaf
MediaWiki:Smw_import_dc

Property:Has_description
Property:Has_average_rainy_days

Category:Foaf
Category:Lorem_ipsum

Template:Welcome

Berlin
London
