01:27 🔗 lyricwiki has left
01:28 🔗 qwebirc47 has joined #wikiteam
01:32 🔗 qwebirc47 Hello guys, LyricWiki was recently closed. I just want to ask if the dump https://archive.org/details/wiki-lyricsfandomcom is complete or not?Was the wiki locked before the archived was made and lasted until the day it was closed?
01:36 🔗 qwebirc47 Also, is there any change I'll be able to download the wiki's images?(I was running the wikiteam tools for the past fiew days but couldn't fininsh the archive.) Thanks for considering my request btw.
01:36 🔗 JAA qwebirc47: Hmm, the Wayback Machine snapshots show that the 'is currently closed for editing' message on the homepage was already present before that dump: https://web.archive.org/web/20200204063025/https://lyrics.fandom.com/wiki/LyricWiki
01:37 🔗 JAA However, https://web.archive.org/web/20200821150630/https://lyrics.fandom.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity suggests that there were still edits being made last month.
01:39 🔗 JAA So I'd say it's probably incomplete.
01:40 🔗 JAA Regarding images, I have no idea.
01:40 🔗 JAA But if you stay around, someone else might be able to answer that.
01:42 🔗 qwebirc47 Too bad then:( How about the official dump? They said they can't provide the dump afte closure. I followed the url scheme on Special:Statistics and went to https://s3.amazonaws.com/wikia_xml_dumps/l/ly/lyrics_pages_full.xml.7z but still no luck.
01:45 🔗 qwebirc47 JAA, do you know how I can contact you guys afterwards? Is there like a Discord group instead of IRC?
01:46 🔗 JAA There isn't (https://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=User:JustAnotherArchivist/Discord). You can come back here, and there are public logs where you can see what happened while you were disconnected: http://archive.fart.website/bin/irclogger_logs
01:48 🔗 JAA Good point on those dumps though. I hadn't heard of these before, but they're known (and mentioned on our wiki page for Wikia). I wonder how well they're archived as it seems that Wikia/Fandom may block the download at any time, obviously.
01:49 🔗 qwebirc47 Maybe the mods of the wikis had downloaded their hard work before it was shut down?
01:49 🔗 JAA Possibly. You'd have to ask them though.
01:51 🔗 qwebirc47 Thanks JAA, then are you guys having plans for a Telegram group?
01:51 🔗 JAA I hope not.
01:52 🔗 JAA IRC has been working very well for us, and most other suggested approaches have significant downsides. I don't see us moving to another protocol anytime soon, although we will be moving to another IRC network soon.
01:54 🔗 qwebirc47 Ok got it. Thanks again JAA, have a nice day. I'll be contacting the mods of lyricwiki later.
01:54 🔗 JAA Good luck!

05:27 🔗 Nemo_bis Yes LyricsWiki was already frozen when that dump was made and IIRC I had checked it was complete.
05:27 🔗 JAA Huh
05:27 🔗 JAA I wonder why Special:WikiActivity still showed edits then.
05:28 🔗 Nemo_bis To be honest that wiki is probably the least useful in the world to dump because the copyright status is a mess.
05:28 🔗 JAA Or was that a frozen page, as in 'last edit 2 days before the freeze' rather than '2 days ago'?
05:28 🔗 Nemo_bis I don't know but Wikia-specific special pages are not to be trusted too much.
05:28 🔗 JAA Yeah, definitely a lot more useful wikis out there on Wikia.
05:29 🔗 Nemo_bis I think privileged users could still edit and do some things (as on Wikimedia closed wikis) but if they did it wasn't anything significant.
05:29 🔗 JAA Right
05:29 🔗 Nemo_bis Probably the wiki was closed because people kept asking corrections and removals.
