Additional notes
MediaWiki is looking for a boundary in the header but cannot find it. Similarly, parameters marked with  are only used when importing from another wiki (transwiki). If the list of possible values for this parameter is empty, interwiki imports are disabled.
 * This module cannot be used as a.
 * rights are required in order to upload an xml file, while  rights are required for interwiki imports.
 * If you get a  error, it is because you sent it url-encoded but claimed it would be multipart/form-data.
 * Parameters marked with  are only used when importing an uploaded XML file.
 * The possible values for the  parameter differ per wiki, see.
