User talk:Graham Phillips 110

Please help me with... Hi, I am migrating a wiki to here, one page at a time (I can't link to it, but it's SVR Wiki) I have exported/imported several pages, templates and categories so far, but I can't import image files. It creates the page with the Summary, Licencing and Usage, but not the image itself. Is there a way round this please? I could download and upload each one myself, but I need to maintain the correct credits for the photographers. Graham Phillips 110 (talk) 22:33, 28 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Graham Phillips 110 First, thank you for your question. Second, as a procedural matter, when importing pages and templates using Special:Import, make sure you use the interwiki prefix for the given wiki on your local wiki's Special:Interwiki table to ensure imported revisions link to the external contributors' user pages. You may also want to consider assigning edits locally where the same username exists on Miraheze. Finally, to your question, there's no easy way to import the image files themselves; however, you might try enabling the MsUpload extension in ManageWiki, which provides for easier batch uploading of image and media files, as I understand it. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 23:41, 28 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that, I'll have a proper look at it later. I've actually been importing pages in batches of about 10 - 20 at a time, so I will eventually get through all 1200+ of them. It looks like I might have to download and upload all 1800+ images individually. The wiki is currently hosted with GoDaddy and I am trying to migrate it here. There's a few other things like Navboxes not displaying properly that I will have to try to sort out, but I'll try and do as much of it myself before I ask for help.--Graham Phillips 110 (talk) 07:01, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
