MediaWiki Migration
Here are the steps I followed for migrating a mediawiki installation:
- create new wiki
- dump SQL tables for users and groups on old wiki and load onto new one
- run dumpUploads.php to get all of the uploaded files on old wiki.
- Put them all in a directory on the new server and run maintenance/importUploads to upload them all
- run maintenance/dumpBackup.php --full >file.xml on old wiki to produce XML file
- run maintenance/importDump file.xml on new wiki to get XML
- on new server, run:
- update.php
- refreshImageMetadata.php
- refreshLinks.php
Finally, change the nameservers to point to the new wiki
