Hi,

I need to overwrite an existing Wiki page using Export and Import utility.

I have followed the below steps :

1. Extracted data of an existing Wikipage in XML using the "export utility"
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Export)

Note : kept the "Include Templates" checkbox untick. Other 2 were ticked.

Eg : abcd.xml

-<mediawiki xmlns="http://www.mediamediawiki.org/wiki "
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/2001/";
  xsl:schemaLocation = "http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export...."; version="0.4"
xml:tang='en">

  -<siteinfo>
    -<sitename>ABCD</sitename>
    -<namespace>Media</namespace>
   </siteinfo>

 -<page>
   <title>NEW</title>
   <id>25</id>
   -<revision>
     <id>12345</id>
     <timestamp>2013-10-09</timestamp>
      <contributor>
        <username>rohi</username>
        <id>1</id>
      </contributor>
      <text xml:space="preserve"> {{ Documenation |name=XYZ
|phonenumber=123456789 }} </text>
     </revision>
    </page>
</mediawiki>


2. Made below changes in the above XML file.

Changed phonenumber value as"phonenumber=9999999 ".

Deleted the below tags from <revision> tag
<id>12345</id>
<timestamp>2013-10-09</timestamp>
<id>1</id>


Below is updated abcd.xml

-<mediawiki xmlns="http://www.mediamediawiki.org/wiki "
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/2001/";
  xsl:schemaLocation = "http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export...."; version="0.4"
xml:tang='en">

  -<siteinfo>
    -<sitename>ABCD</sitename>
    -<namespace>Media</namespace>
   </siteinfo>

 -<page>
   <title>NEW</title>
   <id>25</id>
   -<revision>

      <contributor>
        <username>rohi</username>

      </contributor>
      <text xml:space="preserve"> {{ Documenation |name=XYZ
|phonenumber=9999999 }} </text>
     </revision>
    </page>
</mediawiki>


3. Imported the above XML file.

Is this this the correct procedure to overwrite an existing Wikipage?
Do I need to add or remove any tags ?

Thanks
