18:47 🔗 Dud1 Is https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Category:Website_not_archived that a good guide to go by, to find a wiki that hasn't been archived?
19:46 🔗 Nemo_bis Dud1: yes it should. :) We're working closely with them. However, ignore it for Wikia wikis.
19:48 🔗 Nemo_bis Dud1: We also know several wikis missing metadata on archive.org: https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/User:Thingles/WikiTeam_missing_url
19:48 🔗 Nemo_bis (If you want you can help me fix those.)
19:50 🔗 SadDM Since there are eyes in here right now... what can a wiki owner do to make things easier for wikiteam?
19:51 🔗 SadDM I'm the back-end admin on a modest sized wiki (c. 10k pages)
19:51 🔗 SadDM is there a way I can do a dump and gather the images that would be helpful?
20:28 🔗 Nemo_bis SadDM: Thanks for asking! Yes, there is. https://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/wiki/NewTutorial#I_have_shell_access_to_server + https://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/wiki/NewTutorial#Publishing_the_dump
20:29 🔗 Nemo_bis If you have shell access, it's really simple and fast for you to make a dump. If you don't want, at least add your wiki to public listings: http://wikiapiary.com/
21:03 🔗 SadDM Nemo_bis: awesome... dumping now.
21:08 🔗 Nemo_bis SadDM: great! :)
21:13 🔗 SadDM so, how should the dump and image.tar be named?
21:13 🔗 SadDM should they be compressed?
21:16 🔗 Nemo_bis SadDM: yes, we usually use 7z with the filenames as per tutorial
21:16 🔗 SadDM ok... that was a double-check
21:17 🔗 SadDM but I'm still not totally clear on what the file names should look like...
21:17 🔗 SadDM pathfinderwikicom-20140202-wikidump.xml.7z?
21:18 🔗 SadDM pathfinderwikicom-20140202-images.tar.7z?
21:28 🔗 Danneh__ This is what's usually inside a 7z wikidump:
21:28 🔗 Danneh__ $ ls irc_wikiorg-20140129-wikidump
21:28 🔗 Danneh__ config.txt images index.html irc_wikiorg-20140129-history.xml irc_wikiorg-20140129-images.txt irc_wikiorg-20140129-titles.txt Special:Version.html
21:28 🔗 Danneh__ images being a folder containing all the images/image descriptions
21:29 🔗 Danneh__ but I believe the other ways should be in that NewTutorial page, posted earlier
21:29 🔗 Danneh__ https://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/wiki/NewTutorial#Further_steps:_compression
21:49 🔗 Nemo_bis SadDM: pathfinderwikicom-20140202-history.xml.7z (XML only) and pathfinderwikicom-20140202-wikidump.7z (with both XML and images)
21:50 🔗 Nemo_bis it doesn't really matter, just makes it easier for you to upload them (with the uploader.py script)
21:53 🔗 SadDM hmm, I think I'm starting to understand
21:53 🔗 SadDM the truth is that I'll probably just upload via ftp... that'll be fastest for me
21:54 🔗 SadDM (since this will be a one-time ting for me)
21:54 🔗 SadDM so... is this layout/naming about right? http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=FFqyVFLH
23:08 🔗 SadDM one last ping on ^this^ before I go ahead
23:09 🔗 Nemo_bis that's good enough, yes
23:10 🔗 Nemo_bis I still suggest to use uploader.py to add all the metadata, it's tedious by hand
23:16 🔗 SadDM mkdir pathfinderwikicom-20140202.wikidump
23:16 🔗 * SadDM sigh!
