Desktop App for Chunked API Imports into MediaWiki
While somewhat infrequent, we occasionally get large XML dumps that users ask us to import.
We always have to manually babysit these and they often fail multiple times before working.
I intend to create a tool that uses some of ShopVac's logic to chunk a large upload into many small xml files, then use the MediaWiki API to import them.
This will let non-devs perform these imports, and also make this considerably faster and less taxing on Hydra as a whole.

This task needs broken down into smaller components.
