Speed up MediaWiki's command-line import process
MediaWiki's import process contains code to update statistics (such as the total number of articles on the wiki) after each page is imported. However, this code is slow, and creates problems when importing dumps of many thousands of revisions from the command line.
Your task is to ensure the code referred to at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T144600 (in the WikiImporter
class) does not run when the import process is being run from maintenance/importDump.php
.
