I loaded the MediaWiki instance with the contents of
enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml; does that dump not contain all content
minus history?  Downloading the enormous multi-part dumps just to obtain
the mediawiki namespace contents would not be feasible due to equipment
limitations on this end.

I have all the applicable extensions installed; thanks for the heads up
anyway.
