I have migrated all pages of a existing site to another site using export and import pages but now i came to know i don't need to import all pages, only the pages from one category needs to be imported.
Here are the things, I have to do now.
1) Categories didn't get imported from the pages. At the end of all imported pages category are in red. There is no category in special: category page. So i need to add/import category.
2) Delete the pages in all other categories which are not required.
Categories don't need to be imported, you need to run the Job queue.
For deleting pages in a category, you can make use of Extension:DeleteBatch or Extension:NukeDPL.
Thanks for the update.
Still I don’t see the categories when I go special ---all pages and then select namespace category. However, the source system shows multiple categories
Categories also are pages, and they need to be exported as well.
Categories have 2 contents: - The category page itself, which is wikitext like any other page - A list of members of that category (which can be pages, other categories or files)
When importing pages that have categories, you are populating the category members, but you also need to import the category page for it to be presented as an "existing" category and to avoid the link appear as red.
