Hey Peter, I just went to special import and it seemed to be going to allow me to do it. It said:
Please export the file from the source wiki using the export utility<http://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Special:Export>. Save it to your computer and upload it here. Upload XML data Filename: Comment: This might be helpful (or not): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Import. It says: "Normally any user can export wiki pages to a file, but to import pages into a wiki from a file, you must have 'Sysop' privileges on that wiki." -Sarah 2009/1/20 private musings <[email protected]> > Hi all, > > being a 'starter of many things' (and the jury's out on whether or not I > finish any of them!) - I've created this page; > > http://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Schools%27_Wikipedia_Australia > > I'm aware of quite a few discussions in this area, and believe it's a great > direction for the chapter to pursue... it's certainly something that I'm up > for working on as a fun and interesting project. > > I was chatting with Werdna about how technically we might copy articles > from en into a smaller 'collection for schools' - and he talked me through > the 'Special:Export' and 'Special:Import' functions - which basically just > copy across an article and the last 1,000 revisions between wikis... here's > my technical question though - when I visit 'Special:Import' on the au wiki > it gives me a 'permission error ("The action you have requested is limited > to registered users.
