Help:Copying
From Envirowiki
You can obtain a copy of the help system in this wiki for local use in your own wiki following these steps:
- In a separate browser window, navigate to Special:Export. You will see an open textbox asking you for a list of pages to export.
- 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.
- Make sure the box "Include only the current revision, not the full history" is checked.
- Click the 'Export' button.
- Save the file to your desktop or other convenient location you'll remember.
- Navigate to Special:Import on your wiki. Note that you must be logged in as Admin/Sysop level to do this.
- Browse for the file you saved, and click 'Upload'.
- Navigate to Special:Imagelist
- For each images referenced below, click on the (file) link and save the image to the same location as before.
- Navigate to Special:Imagelist in your wiki and upload each of the images.
You will probably have to edit some of the pages to fix links, but at least this will provide a starting point.

[edit] 2 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.
