Thread:Project:Support desk/Mass Import of Users 200+/reply (2)

I can not upgrade my old wiki 1.8.3, because of a damaged (tables missing) mySQL database. But the data and editing is still possible. I installed a new wiki version 1.19.0 ... I only wanted to import all users themselfs for access to the new Wiki. So I don't need exactly what they edited etc., because I will import all created and changed pages in an extra go independent from the users list. So that was my question: "is it really possible to copy all users from old wiki to the new wiki without getting in trouble, because I checked the tables are 95 % identical. So what I want to do exactly for the general Wiki copy is: 1. copy users from old to new Wiki, however it should be working 2. import all uploaded files from old Wiki with the wiki-maintenance ImportImages.php in the latest version 3. import all pages and templates (if possible by the export-import extension, I already got the export tested). That was/is my plan and the only point missed for approve was, if it works as expected with a database table copy to get all users into the new database.  It sounds complicated, but it's my only way I know to upgrade to the latest 1.19.0 wiki by copying and importing users, files and data to it If somebody knows an easier way, being curious and thankful to read it.
