Does MediaWiki suite my project? Some info about the fork feature

Hi everybody

I'd like to install MediaWiki on two websites for two different projects, but I need some info before:

1) can I "fork" some Wikipedia articles into my website? How can I accomplish it? I know I can copy/paste them, but are there other ways to do this with many articles?

2) the other website is project oriented. Each member will be able to fork the project of another member, and all the related fork have to be notified in order to collect them into a group: something like the Fork feature of GitHub, but these forks will stay in my website. Is it possible with MediaWiki? How?

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Ivan

You should look at work I did on my page puller extension]. It isn't forking in the git sense, but it would allow you (with some work) to keep the pages in some sort of synchronisation.
