Wikipedia 20060817 XML dump support for MediaWiki 1.7.1

Post #1 of 4 (395 views)

I experienced problems importing the 20060817 enwiki dumps using
MediaWiki 1.7.1 with the machine translation project, so I put together
a bzip2 package with MediaWiki 1.7.1 with all the extensions and PHP
fixes necessary to use the Wikipedia enwiki dumps which also includes
all the support extensions for Native Cherokee and other Machine
translation projects. The updated bzip2 package may be useful to others
since the released MediaWiki 1.7.1 does not run with the XML dumps
currently published by the Wikimedia Foundation without all these fixes
and extensions included and configured.

This is not the right list for this type of message. I am not a
moderator, but I would like to kindly ask you to refrain from posting
such things in the future, as this is not remotely a foundation issue.

Thank you,
Filip

You want to ask wikitech-l about this (Wikimedia-related technical discussions).

Whether the Foundations XML dumps work with MediaWiki are a legitimate
foundation issue. I am a lawfully organized business enterprise who
supports the Foundation and its goals and provides MediaWiki apliances.
The foundation should know when MediaWiki has been intentionally broken
not to function with the standard XML dumps.
