Wiki library save as template Missing: SharePoint 2010.

I got a request from the client to move the wiki library from one site collection from another site collection.

Suggestions: I suggested the following things:

Can map library as network drive and copy over the documents. 

Can import the library using PowerShell and export it to another site.

Can save site as template and create a new library using the template by uploading it the template gallery on destination site. 

Problem: However, I was amazed to know that ‘Save site Template’ option was depreciated from the Wiki Libraries in SharePoint 2010.

Resolution: This behavior is by default; however we have a workaround for this. Go to the "Document Library Settings" page.

You should see the URL address like this ".../listedit.aspx?List={GUID}", change the "listedit" to "savetmpl" and the URL look like this "../savetmpl.aspx?List={GUID}", now you will be able to save the library as a template.

This method is not recommended, but it works. If you have any workflow bound to the library then you may have some issues, but works fine if you just want to create a template for document settings, Columns and views.

If you have any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know.

I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, thank you.
