Migrating mediawiki from MySQL to SQLite

I wanted to migrate my mediawiki installation from the MySQL database to SQLite. Reason was that I am short on memory, and the mysql process was always the process on my server that ate most of the memory.

When migrating a mediawiki you should always take into account:

• the articles
• the articles' revisions
• the images and other files
• mediawiki's access statistics
• special mediawiki extensions you have
