Hi,
I attempted to import the English Wikipedia into MediaWiki by first
downloading the pages-articles.xml.bz2, uncompressing it, splitting it
using
xml2sql enwiki-20081008-pages-articles.xml
and finally imported the results using
mysqlimport -u root -p --local wikidb ./{page,revision,text}.txt
I also imported all of the SQL files on
http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20081008/
The problem that I am now facing is that the HTML Rendered is wrong in
places. Mostly this happens at the beginning of the text on the Page.
For example in the beginning the United_Kingdom article I get:
</tr><tr> <th colspan="2">Calling code</th> <td>+44 </td>
</tr></table>
After this I get the normal article text i.e. “The United Kingdom of … “
etc.
The result of this is that the rest of the article is not formatted
correctly. For example in IE the first paragraph is shifted into a
column on the Right. In both IE and Mozilla I do not get the
“navigation”, “search”, “interaction”, “toolbox”, languages” and the
Sunflower MediaWiki Picture on the Top-Left Corner. (I get these
elements in other pages though. I just wanted to illustrate the problems
that bad HTML causes.)
Another problem I am having is at the top of each page I get “Error:
image is invalid or non-existent” – Is there a way to disable this error
message. I know that I don’t have the images – and is not a problem for
me. I would only prefer not to have this error message in red at the top
of the Article.
Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong here?
Thanks,
O. O.
