Thread:Project:Support desk/Quicker Import method

I'm trying to find a way to quickly import self generated wiki pages from external data, and have links and categories updated. If I generate an XML file, I can use the mediawiki importDump.php to bring in the pages, and everything is updated, but at a rather slow 2.5 pages a second. With 14 million pages, that would take months! I can skip updating links on the import, which takes it down to 2 days, but then links, categories, and semantic data isn't updated. So if I then run refreshLinks.php and such, we are right back to months. I've tried messing with a lot of the sql importers like mwdumper, but none seem to work right after 5+ years of no development, and they still aren't going to update links and other data. Any ideas on how I can speed things up? Maybe some tweaks that improve importDump? I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks!
