so what's the story with the scots wikipedia mess? is there any plan to archive that or purge the last 8 years from what is archived/mirrored (why) or are we just sort of ignoring it or wait and see or... i dunno. |

Uh, purge? Why? |

Lots of dumps on IA: https://archive.org/details/wikimediadownloads?and%5B%5D=Scots&sin=&sort=-publicdate |

JAA, because apparently an american teenager, from the ages of 12-19, produced 20,000 articles in the "scots" language that were not actually in scots, almost as a meme/parody of scots, and hence produced over 1/3 of the entire content of the scots language wikipedia |

and it took 8 years for anyone to notice |

so much of the scots wikipedia is polluted by that stuff that people who speak the legitamate language are talking about deleting it or wiping it |
|
12:43
🔗
|
JAA |
Yeah, I'm aware, but why would the archives get purged? |
|
12:43
🔗
|
JAA |
Maybe they'll delete the wiki, but the dumps should stay, no? |
|

|
JAA |
At least that's what happened with other wikis that WMF shut down. |
|
12:45
🔗
|
JAA |
But the ones I'm aware of were shut down for inactivity etc., not due to something like this, so no idea. |

i don't know. if you think everything is ok as is, then I guess that's fine |

The dumps are tiny, I'll just throw them into AB to be safe. https://dumps.wikimedia.org/scowiki/20200820/ |

And https://dumps.wikimedia.org/scowiki/20200801/ (history wasn't dumped on the 20th) |

Heya, I randomly found http://hypnosys.ru/ from the https://stoicstudio.com/forum/forum.php AB job that's running; has this been archived here? |

...I can't seem to find the MediaWiki version though... |

Tip: Add a uselang=en parameter to the URL to get much of the general interface in English. |

Can't find it on WikiApiary or IA, so probably not covered before. |

I can also type the names of the special pages in English, non-GUI style and it'll redirect me to their language counterpart oo; |

Yeah, or that. Special:Version works fine as well. |

Could someone redump https://archive.org/details/wiki-wikidystifycom please? Going down sometime next month. It doesn't look like there were many edits (if any) after the last dump, but it's very small, so another dump can't hurt. |
