Description Dan Jacobson 2007-05-13 00:22:10 UTC Special:Export says "In the latter case you can also use a link, ..." But it should go on to say how one can export more than one page via just a (HTTP GET) URL, avoiding the POST altogether. Say it right there regardless of if it is documented elsewhere e.g., on meta. Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2008-01-20 06:25:20 UTC GET fetches support only a single input, at least by design. Comment 2 Dan Jacobson 2009-01-14 02:55:52 UTC Well there also is e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Export&pages=USA%0D%0AUK&curonly=1&wpDownload=1 but that is not something most people could type with their browsers, so never mind. (Picking two small (redirect) pages here so the example results stay sane.)
