Hi, I need to overwrite an existing Wiki page using Export and Import utility. I have followed the below steps : 1. Extracted data of an existing Wikipage in XML using the "export utility" (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Export) Note : kept the "Include Templates" checkbox untick. Other 2 were ticked. Eg : abcd.xml -<mediawiki xmlns="http://www.mediamediawiki.org/wiki " xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/2001/" xsl:schemaLocation = "http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export...." version="0.4" xml:tang='en"> -<siteinfo> -<sitename>ABCD</sitename> -<namespace>Media</namespace> </siteinfo> -<page> <title>NEW</title> <id>25</id> -<revision> <id>12345</id> <timestamp>2013-10-09</timestamp> <contributor> <username>rohi</username> <id>1</id> </contributor> <text xml:space="preserve"> {{ Documenation |name=XYZ |phonenumber=123456789 }} </text> </revision> </page> </mediawiki> 2. Made below changes in the above XML file. Changed phonenumber value as"phonenumber=9999999 ". Deleted the below tags from <revision> tag <id>12345</id> <timestamp>2013-10-09</timestamp> <id>1</id> Below is updated abcd.xml -<mediawiki xmlns="http://www.mediamediawiki.org/wiki " xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/2001/" xsl:schemaLocation = "http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export...." version="0.4" xml:tang='en"> -<siteinfo> -<sitename>ABCD</sitename> -<namespace>Media</namespace> </siteinfo> -<page> <title>NEW</title> <id>25</id> -<revision> <contributor> <username>rohi</username> </contributor> <text xml:space="preserve"> {{ Documenation |name=XYZ |phonenumber=9999999 }} </text> </revision> </page> </mediawiki> 3. Imported the above XML file. Is this this the correct procedure to overwrite an existing Wikipage? Do I need to add or remove any tags ? Thanks

Hi, The import procedure completed successfully but, the changes made in the abcd.xml i.e Changed phonenumber value as "phonenumber=9999999" did not reflect even after importing the abcd.xml The wikipage contained the previous data for "phonenumber" as "123456789". Thanks
I don't know what abcd.xml is and at which exact step "changes made" happened. A specific testcase and clear, step-by-step descriptions might be helpful. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug . Currently I don't see a valid bug report here yet, but a case for support at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk
Hi Andre, Sorry if I was not clear. I am trying to seek help on the import feature in Wiki and actually not reporting any bug. If I have landed into a wrong place, please suggest where this can be posted. Thanks Rohini.
I see. Please ask on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk instead.
