Forum:How did you copy over the complete history of everything? Or did you?

Normally when you export files and import them, you either have to do just the current version, or do them one by one because of their size if you want the full history. Is there a bot that was used to do this? Dream Focus 06:54, 3 December 2010 (PST)


 * Magic!
 * Actually I used Special:Export. Unchecked "Include only the current revision, not the full history" and exported reasonably sized chunks of pages. Got the page lists using FenyxBot (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot).
 * Then I used Special:Import.
 * Images were trickier. -- Fenyx4 07:27, 3 December 2010 (PST)
 * Is it difficult to do? Can I just get an .exe somewhere and run it, and then type in all the names of pages I want, and make it happen?  I just started a wiki for rape victims, and I wanted to import all the related articles, history and all, from Wikipedia. http://rape.wikia.com/wiki/Rape_Wiki Dream Focus 14:45, 16 December 2010 (PST)
