Mediawiki how to export all

• From http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Export

• http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Export_Helper_Script

Alternatively, a quick approach for those with access to a machine with Python installed:
 Go to Special:Allpages and choose the desired namespace.
   Save the entire webpage as index.php.htm. Some wikis may have more pages than will fit on one screen of AllPages; you will need to save each of those pages.
   Run export_all_helper.py in the same directory as the saved file. 
   You may wish to pipe the output to a file; e.g. python export_all_helper.py > main to send it to a file named  "main".
   Save the page names output by the script.

• export_all_helper.py

#!/bin/env python
import re
content = open('index.php.htm').read()
findSpecialPages = re.compile('title="(\w.*?)"').findall
print '\n'.join(findSpecialPages(content))

• Then using .cmd file or from command-prompt:

export_all_helper.py >> pages.txt
