EZ Wikipedia Template Copying

  1. Open up Wikipedia page in edit view
  2. Go to bottom, copy names of all templates you wish to copy (include "Template:" in the names)
  3. Paste all these in the Special:Export box on another page on Wikipedia (open new tab for this)
  4. Make sure "include templates is checked" (will add subtemplates automatically)
  5. Save the XML file it spits out somewhere.
  6. Use Special:Import here to import that XML file of templates here (may time out, so redo it a few times if the file is really large)
  7. Go to page you need to see template on, purge cache and check to see if it looks right.
  8. If so, the page will look right, recent changes will report what you imported.
  9. Celebrate!
