11:12 🔗 Nemo_bis Sigh, EditThis is so full of spam. 8k pages each with thousands revisions of hundreds KB just at the title [[index.php]]... you make the sum.
11:22 🔗 Dud1 So the wiki I'm backing up is nearly 600mb and only gotten through ~6/7k pages, there are about 372 thousand titles left to do...what size is it going to be in the end?
11:23 🔗 Nemo_bis Dud1: the fi.runescape wikia?
11:24 🔗 Dud1 Yeah
11:24 🔗 Nemo_bis probably several GB
11:24 🔗 Nemo_bis check the wikia dumps on archive.org to see if there's a previous dump of that wiki, I thought I had linked you one?
11:28 🔗 Dud1 The only rswiki on archive is https://archive.org/details/wiki-wikirshunhu and that is a different one.
11:39 🔗 Nemo_bis no, you have to check wikia dumps
11:40 🔗 Nemo_bis like https://archive.org/download/wikia_dump_20121204/r.zip/
11:41 🔗 Nemo_bis http://archive.org/download/wikia_dump_20121204/f.zip/f%2Ffi%2Ffirunescape%2Fpages_full.xml.gz is 20 MB gzipped
11:41 🔗 Nemo_bis if you're downloading the English one it was 3 GB compressed
11:41 🔗 Nemo_bis so, probably less than 30 GB uncompressed
11:57 🔗 Dud1 I am sorry, but I'm confused now. Should I continue the way I was going or what?
12:10 🔗 Nemo_bis Dud1: sure, unless you lack disk space
12:11 🔗 Nemo_bis but if you want to dump the finnish one then you have to use the api to the finnish one :)
12:13 🔗 Dud1 I have 124gb so I'll keep going, I cna delete stuff if needed. I'll keep with the english one first then try the rest (never noticed that site had other languages XD)
12:14 🔗 Dud1 Thanks :)
12:16 🔗 Nemo_bis then use 7z a -mx9 to compress it, much better for full dumps
14:04 🔗 Nemo_bis Out of few dozens Wikia wikis which also have an image dump, there is buytwitterfollowers_images.tar. Go figure.
