[pmwiki-users] Import (cookbook)

[Petko Yotov]

There is a delay, default 15 seconds, and if the import has not 
completed, the rest of the files are skipped, but this is shown in the 
log. In such a case you can simply reload the page to do the rest.

But in this case, the skipped pages are labelled as skipped, not as 
imported.

Not sure what may be happening here.
