Another option would have been to drop the old database. But it isn't bad idea to have the clone with a different db name, even if you're not going for now to merge them. You may still want to do it to remove the old contents that are in the clone (more free space, info from the old wiki can't be fetched if the new VM is compromised, no option to confuse the VMs using the clone thinking it's the original). _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
