Etch computer. I bought a new computer and run Mediawiki 1.12.0 and
Debian 5.0 Lenny on it. I've mounted the old harddrive on the new
computer. What would be the easiest way to import all the old articles
into my new installation, with preserved history? It's about 50
articles.
The easiest way would probably be to setup your new installation to
use the old database and then run update.php from the maintenance/
subdirectory. That will upgrade your database to 1.12 and should run
smoothly.
