Thread:Project:Support desk/xml import trouble/reply

Hi Orazio,

here is a bugreport about that: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21000

A few other users had this problem as well. See here for their thoughts on it. Summary: If you have an entry, which is a protected redirect, the import script crashes. Manually removing the restrictions line makes it work. Alternatively downloading an updated import.php from here: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/Import.php?view=co and replacing the original file in the /includes directory might also work fine!

Maybe a MediaWiki update also makes it work; the code which I linked above is taken from the old MediaWiki Core repository and I think that this code should be part of 1.19 or 1.20 at least.
