[edit] What can this extension do?
Replacement for the "/include/import.php" file. Import2 does the following improvements to the standard import file:
- General cleanup of import.php file to make it easier to maintenance in the future.
- Processes all variables in the XML dump file including the siteinfo variables.
- The sitename and base are used to establish links back to original import page.
- Template:ImportBot has the example text: Note: This page was originally imported from <sitename>, page <title> on Dec 08, 2009. Title is actually a hyperlink to the exact revision imported.
- Import username (or ip) are changed to <sitename>ImportBot.
- Import comment is changed to "Imported from <sitename>, article <basename>/index.php?oldid=<revid>". This enables compliance with MediaWiki licensing to state exact version of page imported. The original comment is not as valuable as information to do a full traceback of a page.
- Page is tagged with an import category, for example, Category:WikipediaImportBot.
