This seems archival-worthy: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/WikiChip No dump on IA as far as I can see. It's a slightly concealed MW: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/Special:Version |

|
18:35
🔗
|
freeacc |

Hi freeacc. Hang around and someone in the know might get back to you eventually. This is IRC, so expect that to take hours or even days. |
|

freeacc |
JAA: thanks |

freeacc: I'm not sure I understand. You set up your own Parsoid instance backed by an XML import of that wiki? |
|
20:23
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
Or how did you expect mwoffliner to help? |
|
20:24
🔗
|
freeacc |
Nemo_bis: i though it was some sort of scraper that saves the info inside a .zim file |
|
20:24
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
freeacc: yes, but it scrapes Parsoid |
|
20:25
🔗
|
freeacc |
and parsoid is some king of markup2html converter. right? |
|
20:25
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
It's the node.js version of the PHP parser |
|
20:25
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
And don't get me started on how terrible the whole idea is :D |
|
20:26
🔗
|
freeacc |
anyways. here's the command i'm running. |
|
20:26
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
This is a small wiki, I doubt mwoffliner is the best solution |
|
20:27
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
You might be better off with the usual old way of using dumpHTML on your own mirror of the wiki |
|

|

🔗
|
freeacc |
oh. ok |
|
20:27
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
Hm yes. In theory you can get the HTML from the API, but in practice that path is not used much so who knows what happens |
|
20:28
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
Wikis are often not particularly happy of being asked to reparse their entire content for you |
|
20:28
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
If you're lucky and dumpHTML works (small chance but who knows), you might be done in few minutes with that route |
|
20:29
🔗
|
freeacc |
oh. will try that, then. |
|
20:29
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
Otherwise, please proceed to #kiwix on freenode because the last time I used mwoffliner was possibly 5 years ago |
|
20:31
🔗
|
freeacc |
i also think that importing the dumpgenerator output would be much simpler |
|
20:31
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
"simpler" not, because you need to install MediaWiki and all the Gamepedia extensions and then run the parsing yourself |
|
20:31
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
However it *might* happen to be faster or more reliable on a small wiki like that |
|
20:32
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
It's the way we used to make ZIM files until 2008 or so |
|
20:32
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
Sorry, since 2008 or so and until mwoffliner was created |
|
20:33
🔗
|
freeacc |
it just sucks that the tooling around such a task isn't so accessible. |
|
20:33
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
Well, the alternative for most CMS is that there's nothing at all :) |
|
20:34
🔗
|
freeacc |
ok thanks a lot. |
|
20:34
🔗
|
Nemo_bis |
(Well, last time I checked, a few years ago, there was a "static website exporter" for Joomla which had gone stale a few years before) |
|
20:34
🔗
|
freeacc |
that's true, i mean im thankfull that i even have the option to create a dump |

JAA: not the nicest wiki on the block requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 521 Server Error: status code 521 for url: https://en.wikichip.org/w/api.php?format=json&continue=&meta=siteinfo%7Cuserinfo%7Cuserinfo&action=query&siprop=general%7Cnamespaces&uiprop=groups%7Crights%7Cblockinfo%7Chasmsg |

|
Nemo_bis |
they already blocked special:export so it's probably only a matter of time before they block all relevant APIs as well |

Nemo_bis: Aw, too bad. Thanks for trying though. |
