| | + | Currently WikiTaxi Importer does not support command line arguments and you must pre-compress your XML files with bzip2. You can find a [[WikiTaxi Import Script]] written in AutoIT to save time compressing/importing. |

Run "Browse C:\" Double Click on WikiTaxi Importer, select file and enter output database name. Click Execute. Close after finish. Go back to Wine C:\ browser, double click on WikiTaxi.

| - | **problem with the last dump of wikipedia in spanish** | |
| - | | |
| - | I have a problem with the last dump of wikipedia in spanish, the page load and render with another pages inside, I think it's because wikipedia changed the name of the templates, for example when i load an article about a person in the field of age is another article instead the age. I don't know if I explain good, because write in english is too dificult for me now. Thanks in advance. | |
