I am using MediaWiki 1.16.4 and currently have to migrate from a help site

  • 0

I am using MediaWiki 1.16.4 and currently have to migrate from a help site using HTML to a new help site with mediawiki. One problem I bump into is to upload a mass amount of images onto mediawiki without using the web interface (since that would take forever and a half). I am currently trying to use pywikipedia (which is a python bot) for the task but haven’t succeeded yet. Does any of you happen to know a script for the task?

Thansk,

    So I have found the answer. It turns out that MW 1.16.4 provides its own script for bulk media upload which can be found here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:ImportImages.php
