    Please see [the manual](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates#Copying_from_one_wiki_to_another) for instructions on how to export templates and subtemplates (not that many templates from Wikimedia wikis require the Scribuntu extension to work). I'm flagging this as OT, as not programming related – leo Dec 18 '14 at 07:44

go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export and write your template name. you can export anything (article, template, categories, modules, etc.). after download the file your can import it to your wiki via https://yourSiteName.com/wiki/Special:Import.
