All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXIX

In practice Special:Export is a footgun, so much so that we have pagesadvising people not to import from Wikipedia.

In this case importing a one help page would probably export at least 100 pages and templates and still look broken until we turned the translation extension on, and after that admins would have to mark pages for translation any time we want to edit a translated page, or else the edits will be hidden but only sometimes.

True. We could always just import pages with the import templates and support pages option checked off or, since it's under Public Domain, replace our outdated pages with edited updated ones by hand since we don't have too many.

I was hoping that we could replace the pages with newer ones because of the number of lint errors some of them are generating. Fix everything at once, not just the outdated content.
