I have Several xml dumps. For example: text-dump-1.xml - 200mb text-dump-2.xml -222mb

Each of them are 200+ MBs and i wanna import all of them on my existing mediawiki database without deleting any of its contents. I'm new to mediawiki and i wanna know how can i do that?

See Manual:Importing XML dumps.

It won't "delete" any existing content. If you have existing pages with the same name, they may be overwritten by generating new revisions in top of the existing ones, although you could go to the history and see the previous content.

Note that what gets imported are page revisions. If the import is older than existing pages, it will generate older revisions of current pages in the history, but the current content of the page will still be shown.
