Import a MediaWiki XML database dump
This example shows how you can import a MediaWiki XML database dump with the InfoRapid KnowledgeBase Builder. The diagram is interactive - click on an item to focus it or use the search field to find a specific item.
Please click here to browse back to the initial root item.

How to create a MediaWiki XML database dump and import it with InfoRapid KnowledgeBase Builder
An XML database dump for importing in InfoRapid KnowledgeBase Builder can be created with the script dumpBackup.php, which is located in the maintenance directory of your MediaWiki installation. A description of the command can be found at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:DumpBackup.php in the internet. The following call creates the file "databasedump.xml", which can be imported in InfoRapid KnowledgeBase Builder.

php dumpBackup.php --current > datenbankdump.xml

There is also an interactive way for exporting individual pages or entire categories as XML dump. To do so, please open the special page "Export" in your wiki. The URL of this page is http://your_wiki_installation/wiki/Special:Export, for example in the English Wikipedia it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export. You can enter the names of the pages, that should be exported, directly or you can enter an category name and press the "Add" button in order to add all pages of this category to the list of page names. By the way, you can do this many times with different categories. Finally, select the options "Include only the current revision, not the full history" and "Save as file" before you press the "Export" button, which starts the download. Save the downloaded XML file on your hard disk. This file can be imported afterwards with InfoRapid KnowledgeBase Builder.
Special:Export from the Wikipedia

The command to import a MediaWiki XML database dump can be found in the File menu under Import.
Menu Import MediaWiki XML Database Dump

It opens a dialog in which you can enter the path to the MediaWiki database dump file.
Dialog Import MediaWiki XML Database Dump

Additionally you can set the following parameters:
File Path to the MediaWiki database dump file, which should be imported
Wiki Base URL Base URL of your MediaWiki installation, at which the page names are appended for directly linking them
Evaluate all Links Specifies whether all links (that means also those which are not in the context of a sentence) or only those, which are contained in whole sentences, will be evaluated

During import, links between pages are analyzed and added as relation lines to the diagram. Hyperlinks in whole sentences have a greater weight than those in lists. If there are many hyperlinks contained in your articles, then you can choose to ignore hyperlinks in lists.

After import, you have to adjust the settings for the diagram view. It is best to choose the maximum number of child elements for the levels 1/2/3/4 as 11/8/2/1 and turn the display of cross links off. Then you can save your view settings with the command "Save View" from the View menu in the database.
