[09:17] Uh, purge? Why? [09:20] Lots of dumps on IA: https://archive.org/details/wikimediadownloads?and%5B%5D=Scots&sin=&sort=-publicdate [12:41] 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 [12:42] and it took 8 years for anyone to notice [12:42] 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] Yeah, I'm aware, but why would the archives get purged? [12:43] Maybe they'll delete the wiki, but the dumps should stay, no? [12:44] At least that's what happened with other wikis that WMF shut down. [12:45] But the ones I'm aware of were shut down for inactivity etc., not due to something like this, so no idea. [12:47] i don't know. if you think everything is ok as is, then I guess that's fine [12:49] The dumps are tiny, I'll just throw them into AB to be safe. https://dumps.wikimedia.org/scowiki/20200820/ [12:50] And https://dumps.wikimedia.org/scowiki/20200801/ (history wasn't dumped on the 20th) [14:47] *** AlsoJAA_ is now known as AlsoJAA [15:22] *** Ryz has quit IRC (Quit: Ping timeout (120 seconds)) [15:22] *** kiska1825 has quit IRC (Ping timeout (120 seconds)) [17:05] *** Lord_Nigh has left Leaving [17:28] *** Ryz has joined #wikiteam [18:00] 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I randomly found http://hypnosys.ru/ from the https://stoicstudio.com/forum/forum.php AB job that's running; has this been archived here? [18:01] ...I can't seem to find the MediaWiki version though... [18:02] http://hypnosys.ru/index.php/%D0%A1%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F:%D0%92%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%8F [18:03] Tip: Add a uselang=en parameter to the URL to get much of the general interface in English. [18:04] Can't find it on WikiApiary or IA, so probably not covered before. [18:05] 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; [18:07] Yeah, or that. Special:Version works fine as well. [19:25] canonical namespaces for the win [20:58] *** Ryz has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [20:59] *** kiska1825 has joined #wikiteam [21:00] *** Ryz has joined #wikiteam [23:31] 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.
