Exporting and importing images in MediaWiki

Question

How do I export and import images from and into a MediaWiki?

Answer 1

- Export ALL:

You can get all pages and all images from a MediaWiki web using [API], even you are not the owner of the web (of course when the owner hasn't disable this function):

Step 1: Using API to get all pages title and all images url. You can write some code to do it automatically.

Step 2: Next you use [Special:Export] to export all pages with the titles you got, and use wget to get all images you had links (like this wget -i img-list.txt).

- Import ALL:

Step 1: Import pages using [Special:Import]

Step 2: Import images using [Manual:ImportImages.php].
