Editing MediaWiki backup

{{Template:MediaWiki Installation}}

{{Wiki version| wiki_engine=MediaWiki | version=1.31.0 }}
'''Easy backup method'''

Input the all page name into [[Special:Export]], and export the all content as a XML file. Steps:
# Generate the list of all page name: 
#* For newer MediaWiki: Use the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OneColumnAllPages Extension:OneColumnAllPages - MediaWiki]
#* For MediaWiki 1.21.2: I modified the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicWikiSitemap Extension:DynamicWikiSitemap] to [http://wiki.planetoid.info/lists.phps list.php]
# Copy the list of all page name to [[Special:Export]]
# Export the ''latest'' revision of all pages (If you choose to include the all old revisions, it will costs time to export the content.)
