stored, it is possible to derive a list of page names from this. With mediawiki's
MySQL backend, the page table is, appropriately enough, called `table`:
- SELECT page_namespace, page_title FROM page;
+ SELECT page_namespace, page_title FROM page;
As with the previous method, you will need to do some filtering based on the
namespace.
The [[plugins/contrib/mediawiki]] plugin can be used by ikiwiki to interpret
most of the Mediawiki syntax.

+[[Anarcat]] wrote a python script to convert from a mediawiki website to ikiwiki at <http://anarcat.ath.cx/software/mediawikigitdump.git/>. The script doesn't need any special access or privileges and communicates with the documented API (so it's a bit slower, but allows you to mirror sites you are not managing, like parts of Wikipedia). The script can also incrementally import new changes from a running site, through RecentChanges inspection.
