If you have import rights (specifically <tvar name=1><code>importupload</code></tvar>) on the new wiki:
</translate>

# <translate><!--T:85--> Go to <tvar name=export>[[Special:Export]]</tvar> on the original wiki, and download an <tvar name=1>.xml</tvar> file with the complete history of all necessary templates, as follows:</translate>
#* <translate><!--T:86--> Enter the name of the template in the big text box, e.g. "Template:Welcome". Pay special attention to capitalization and special characters – if the template name isn't exactly correct, the export may still occur but the .xml file will not have the expected data.</translate>
#* <translate><!--T:87--> Select the box <tvar name=export><code></code></tvar>.</translate>
#* <translate><!--T:88--> Select the box <tvar name=export2><code></code></tvar>.</translate>
#* <translate><!--T:89--> Click <tvar name=1><code></code></tvar>.</translate>
# <translate><!--T:90--> Go to [[Special:Import]] on the new wiki and upload the <tvar name=1>.xml</tvar> file.</translate>

<translate>

If you don't have import rights on the new wiki:
</translate>

# <translate><!--T:114--> Go to the template you want to copy from the original wiki. Go to the edit page, and copy all the wikitext</translate>
# <translate><!--T:258--> On the new wiki, go to the page with the same name as the template you copied. Hit create/edit and paste the wikitext you copied. In the edit summary of each template, link to the original page for attribution.</translate>
# <translate><!--T:259--> Back in the original wiki at the edit window, below the edit box, look at the list of <tvar name=1><code></code></tvar>.</translate> <translate><!--T:448--> For each template listed follow these instructions.</translate> <translate><!--T:449--> Also do that for any template used by any of these templates, and so on.</translate>

<translate><!--T:115--> This will copy the entire code necessary, and will suffice for some templates.</translate>
<translate><!--T:193--> Note that only page elements parsed in rendering the page get exported, consequently documentation subpages are not exported as part of this process.</translate>
<translate><!--T:117--> If it doesn't work also check for red links listed under <tvar name=1><code></code></tvar>, below the edit box.</translate>
<translate><!--T:450--> If there are any repeat the above steps for these as well and also copy the code in the modules.</translate>

After successfully importing the template and all its linked templates from the other wiki, edit it to change customisations to suit your wiki. For example to change a logo, remove redundant categories or red links.
