Forum:Import images between wikis

Hi folks. I would like to know if it's possible to implement image importing between wikis (between Wikia wikis specifically). While there's a longer route i.e. exporting the required File pages then importing it to the target wiki, it consumes much bandwidth along the way on my end, something I dearly cannot afford.

Script functionality: [Ref: mw:API:Import ] It turns out MediaWiki does support importing pages from other wikis (complete with the revisions!). So my plan is this: Have a textbox (for source wiki name) and a text area (for list of pages) somewhere in the target wiki, and the script will take each line and use the API to import the pages.

Usage: I've acquired a wiki (w:c:ums) that is an offshoot of another wiki (w:c:hitlerparody) and many of the old images are in the parent wiki. I want to get the images relevant for the new wiki transferred efficiently.

IDK why I couldn't found any such script anywhere on Google search, as I think there are widespread need for these things (e.g. creating multilingual wikis though i think wikis with many languages share images). Perhaps I'm not using the right keywords. Anyway, any help on this would be enormously appreciated. Thanks in advance! —mfaizsyahmi (talk) 19:40, May 8, 2014 (UTC)
