Importing Pages

Use Special:Export and Special:Import rather than just copying the text. Make sure to include the page history so that the original authors are given credit.

  • When exporting, don't forget to uncheck the "Include only the current revision, not the full history" box.

What To Import

  • Import all mainspace pages (this includes smasher pages) and their talk pages (and any such archives).
  • Images cannot be imported, but you can re-upload them, saving them to your computer first. If you have the original, even better.
  • All templates and categories should be imported.
  • Forums should generally not be imported unless they contain important discussion.
  • Things in the SmashWiki namespace can wait until it's decided which ones are going to be kept.
  • You can either import your user page or make a new one. Your talk page and its archives should be imported, if you decide to keep them.
  • Do not import other users' user pages unless they've asked.
  • Please refer to the Community Portal for a checklist on what's needed to be imported at the present time.
