You can obtain a copy of the help system in this wiki for local use in your own wiki following these steps:
- Step one: In a separate browser window, navigate to Special:Export.
- Step two: You will see an open textbox asking you for a list of pages to export.
- Step three: Copy the list below and paste it into that textbox. This is a generally useful set, making the resulting help structure in your wiki look almost identical to the one here.
Help:Contents Help:Navigation Help:Searching Help:Tracking_changes Help:Editing_pages Help:Starting_a_new_page Help:Formatting Help:Links Help:Categories Help:Images Help:Templates Help:Tables Help:Variables Help:Managing_files Help:Preferences Help:Skins Help:Namespaces Help:Interwiki_linking Help:Special pages Template:PD_Help_Page Template:Languages Template:Meta Template:Admin_tip Template:Prettytable Template:Hl2 Template:Hl3 Template:Click Template:Thankyou En:Public_domain Image:Example.jpg Image:Geographylogo.png
- Step four: Make sure the box "Include only the current revision, not the full history" is CHECKED.
- Step five: Click the 'Export' button.
- Step six: Save the file to your desktop or other convenient location you'll remember.
- Step seven: Navigate to Special:Import on YOUR wiki. (You must be logged in as Admin/Sysop level to do this.)
- Step eight: Browse for the file you saved, and click 'Upload'.
That should do it! Although not complete, at least this gets you started on a decent help system.
Automated copying
If you use pywikipedia, there is a script to automate the copying at http://mediawiki-tools.cvs.sourceforge.net/mediawiki-tools/pywikipedia/mirrorhelp.py, which copies all pages in the help namespace along with templates and images directly referenced by those.
