<translate><!--T:74--> For example, ones with a prefix of 'Meta:' would conflict with the interwiki prefix <tvar name=2><code>meta:</code></tvar> which by default links to <tvar name=3><nowiki>https://meta.wikimedia.org</nowiki></tvar>.</translate>

You can do any of the following.
</translate>

*<translate><!--T:47--> Remove the prefix from the <tvar name=2></tvar> table.</translate> <translate><!--T:55--> This will preserve page titles, but prevent interwiki linking through that prefix.</translate>
*:<translate><!--T:48--> Example: you will preserve page titles 'Meta:Blah blah' but will not be able to use the prefix 'meta:' to link to meta.wikimedia.org (although it will be possible through a different prefix).</translate>
*:<translate><!--T:49--> How to do it: before importing the dump, run the query <tvar name=1><code>DELETE FROM interwiki WHERE iw_prefix='prefix'</code></tvar> (note: do not include the colon in the <code>prefix</code>).</translate> <translate><!--T:56--> Alternatively, if you have [[<tvar name=2>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Guide to setting up interwiki linking</tvar>|enabled editing the interwiki table]], you can simply go to <tvar name=3>[[Special:Interwiki]]</tvar> and click the 'Delete' link on the right side of the row belonging to that prefix.</translate>
*<translate><!--T:50--> Replace the unwanted prefix in the XML file with "Project:" before importing. This will preserve the functionality of the prefix as an interlink, but will replace the prefix in the page titles with the name of the wiki where they're imported into, and might be quite a pain to do on large dumps.</translate>
*:<translate><!--T:51--> Example: replace all 'Meta:' with 'Project:' in the XML file. MediaWiki will then replace 'Project:' with the name of your wiki during importing.</translate>
