Hello, would there be any way to transfer a wiki from Wikia to MediaWiki, so that I could host it myself, without starting all over?

You can get a database dump at Special:Statistics. -- RandomTime 20:37, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

I read somewhere that a database dump didn't include images, though? And after downloading the database, just to be clear, I would just upload it in my cPanel, and install MediaWiki over it, right?
