Porting Interface: WikiGuides to NeoWiki

Note: This script has only been proven to work in Firefox. It may not work in other browsers (especially Internet Exploder).

This porting interface will allow you to easily port content from a WikiGuide to a NeoWiki. Before you start, please make sure you are a Wiki Super or Janitor and that you know which WikiGuides hub you want to port. Then, please follow these instructions:

  1. Fetch the proper XML File Export from WikiGuides:
    1. Go to Special:Export on WikiGuides.
    2. Type HubName in the "Add pages from category" text box, then click the "Add" button.
    3. Type HubName/Redirects in the "Add pages from category" text box, then click the "Add" button.
    4. Check the box labeled "Include only the current revision, not the full history."
    5. Uncheck the box labeled "Include templates."
    6. Check the box labeled "Save as file."
    7. Click the "Export" button and download the file.
  2. Initiate the conversion of all the pages:
    1. Type the name of the WikiGuides hub in the "Hub Name" field on this page.
    2. Paste the contents of the XML File into the "Input XML File" field on this page.
    3. Click the "Convert" button and wait up to a few seconds.
  3. Review the converted pages. You have the ability to edit, rename and delete all pages individually in case they need additional modifications.
  4. Once finished, click the "Load XML Output" button if it's enabled, then copy & paste all the contents of the "XML File Output" field into a text editor on your computer, and save it with the *.xml file extension.
  5. Import the XML File onto the new NeoWiki by going to that NeoWiki's Special:Import page. Simply upload the file, and don't bother with the comment.
  6. Now, use the image porting script not available to the public (due to potential abuse) to transfer all the images from the WikiGuide to the NeoWiki.
