I've patched up some old problems with
Special:Import and Special:Export:
How does this work? Can only admins do it?
It's limited to admins, yes. If desired we could make it a separate group,
assignable separately from sysophood.
A set of source wikis is defined (currently in the site configuration, so not
settable by sysops directly) from which pages can be nicked.
There's also the ability to upload XML files saved manually from Special:Export
on another wiki; we have this disabled normally (since you can fake past edits
to anyone else's name), but sometimes enable it for particular wikis that are
migrating from a test location offsite.
I would mostly be
interested in moving images from the various Wikipedias to Commons.
Images aren't supported yet, sorry. :(
But that could be added; I've got some related support in the OAI thingy which
could be adapted.
