• Copy/paste the list of articles into a text file
• Use a regexp search to replace tab with newline to get a list of articles, one per line
• Copy/paste the list of articles into the Special:Export page
• Hit the Export button

The end result is an XML file that can be imported into another MediaWiki installation. I did this earlier today, and got a 1.5MB file. I've zipped it and attached it to this message so that everyone reading this forum has access to a copy.

I've just realised that wikia make a weekly backup available of the wiki text (the same as the above procedure produces). It doesn't include images, but it's much simpler than the above. The Special:Statistics page has links to database dumps at the bottom.
