Actually this is indeed a generic problem with MediaWiki. The factbox (or the category box) is created by the parser, but the data is only saved on a page edit.
I usually solve this problem by using the touch-Script from the PyWikipediaBot, as described on the link below, and run it on the imported pages. Or, if there are not many, you can just open the page, change anything, save, and then it's OK. <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Touch.py> <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipedia> If someone finds a general solution that does not include an external script, I would be grateful to hear it! cheers, denny Fernando Correia wrote: > An update: this may not be related to SMW.
