Is it possible to import all the functions another miraheze had to my Wiki?

hollow scroll
#

if you mean wiki settings - no
if you mean things like templates - yes

burnt iris
#

it's templates yes, most likelly

#

templates, codes, that stuff

hollow scroll
#

go to Special:Export page on source wiki to get a file, make sure to check "include templates" flag
then go to Special:Import on your wiki and upload that file

#

I can't guarantee this will work smoothly if the source wiki relies on things like Lua modules taken from Wikipedia (it's a dark road)

#

you might also want to copy/import css styles, they're usually written on MediaWiki:Common.css page, but can be different place, depends on wiki

#

also sometimes templates might require some extensions to be enabled beforehand, again - it's different between various wikis

burnt iris
#

oops I didn't want to mean that

hollow scroll
#

what exactly?

burnt iris
#

I mean the include templates

hollow scroll
#

there are 3 check boxes on Export page

#

include one should be second

burnt iris
#

I should export my Wiki or the other one?

hollow scroll
#

export - you take from another wiki
import - you add to your wiki

burnt iris
#

ok

#

lemme check if it works

#

ouch

#

I wasn't able to download the file I think

#

I wanted something like this

#

thats what I am trying to do but it's not working somehow, maybe cause it's closed? dunno

hollow scroll
#

you need to provide name of template page in that second field

#

no Special: pages

#

to find template edit/check source of those pages, 2 first screenshots

#

under editor area there should be collapsible list w/ used on the page templates

burnt iris
#

anything here?

hollow scroll
#

scroll down

burnt iris
hollow scroll
#

under save/cancel buttons

burnt iris
hollow scroll
#

yes, "Templates used on this page"

burnt iris
#

so what do I do from here? copy/paste?

#

I mean the code

hollow scroll
#

check which one of these templates you need

burnt iris
#

it lacks the groups part

#

or that part is editable by me even with no Template?

hollow scroll
#

that I don't know

burnt iris
#

ok. I figured it out.
