Summary: importDump isn't intuitive enough
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.18-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Export/Import
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: m...@everybody.org
I'm trying to import a dump, so I know to use importDump.
However, that's all I know.
Now, I know the answer is "How do you expect to do anything without reading the
documentation?" but importDump doesn't even tell me which Wiki page to look at.
Plus, I'm a cowboy. Running software without reading the docs has worked
pretty well for me in the past, so why shouldn't it this time?
So I go to the command line and run it, but it just sits there, waiting for
input, I suppose. Asking it for --help does nothing. Feeding it /dev/null
with the vain hope of getting some useful error message only spews (in my
xdebug-enabled installation) the following errors:
PHP Warning: XMLReader::read():

Fine. Time to use Google, read the source, and file a bug.
