--- Comment #31 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Silke Meyer (WMDE) from comment #28) > * We questioned the importance of keeping the wiki again if no one has the > resources to move it somewhere. > * If no one does, we'll keep a backup dump for later ressurrection. Someone should just write and run a bot to transwiki (export and import, maybe) all the content from wiki.toolserver.org to Meta-Wiki. Then we can go through it on Meta-Wiki at a leisurely pace. If we wait for the wiki to only be available as an SQL dump, it will be significantly more annoying and painful to retrieve the contents and its history. I might be able to help write such a bot if it's not trivial. I assume some of the larger MediaWiki bot code libraries such as pywikibot have built-in functions to do imports and exports, but even doing it with requests to the MediaWiki API directly shouldn't be too difficult. As I recall, a potential blocker here might be that user auth seemed to have broken for the wiki at some point for scripts. I ran a script under my main account for years, but at some point it developed an issue where it always had trouble logging in, so it would just update the wiki page as an IP address (cf. <https://wiki.toolserver.org/history/Wiki_server_assignments>). I assumed it was something to do with the shared auth system in place there. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
