Some more how-to info from a steward[edit source]

You have to be logged in on the wiki to see the database dump link: "Current pages and history". For example; for the Shoutwiki Hub: Special:Statistics. Log in and log out to see what I mean at the bottom of the page.

The steward of your wiki initiates a new dump. The steward sees a link called "Generate a new dump". The date is for when the last dump was created. Anybody who is logged in can click the dump link and download the dump from that date.

New dumps can be requested by the steward no sooner than a week after the last dump was created. The dump is usually created instantly. I am a steward on a wiki, and that is how I know these things.

If you just want some pages, or all the pages, from a category on a wiki, you can use Special:Export on a wiki. It works great. Then use Special:Import on the wiki you want to import those pages too. --Timeshifter (talk) 16:30, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
