Details[edit | edit source]
importDump.php file is a maintenance script to import XML dump files into the current wiki. It reads pages from an XML file as produced from Special:Export or dumpBackup.php, and saves them into the current wiki.
Examples[edit | edit source]
php importDump.php --conf ../LocalSettings.php /path_to/dumpfile.xml.gz wikidb
or
php importDump.php < dumpfile.xml
Options[edit | edit source]
| Option/Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| --report | Report position and speed after every n pages processed. |
| --namespaces | Import only the pages from namespaces belonging to the list of pipe-separated namespace names or namespace indexes. |
| --dry-run | Parse dump without actually importing pages. |
| --debug | Output extra verbose debug information. |
| --uploads | Process file upload data if included (experimental). |
| --no-updates | Disable link table updates. Is faster but leaves the wiki in an inconsistent state. |
| --image-base-path | Import files from a specified path. |
Notes[edit | edit source]
For very large data sets, importDump.php may be slow; there are alternate methods which can be much faster for full site restoration, see Manual:Importing XML dumps.
