Moving a wiki to Miraheze/zh-cn

您可以将您自己、Fandom或其他任何Mediawiki主机托管商所托管的维基迁移至Miraheze. 您只需要带有您维基历史记录的XML文件.

Moving a wiki to Miraheze isn't a difficult chore. Whether the wiki is hosted by yourself, FANDOM, or any other MediaWiki host, moving a wiki to Miraheze is possible. As long as you have the database dump ('XML' file), the task is easy!

从Fandom导出
Fandom（亦称Wikia）在 提供维基的XML存储. 但它可能已经过时——请让您的维基管理员点击“发送请求”（Send request）按钮. 如果您的维基没有活跃管理员，则必须建议Fandom的支持人员来为您点击. 请见[$fandom Fandom关于此的文档]. 请通知您的Wiki统计页面的系统管理员. 系统管理员：由于协议原因（尤其是知识共享许可的出处要求），您必须下载“当前页面和历史记录”.

另请注意，我们已经被Fandom告知他们不允许大量删除页面和在主页上链接到外部维基. 鉴于此，用户可以创建有关搬运的公开信息，使其在删除前悬挂两周. 这个提交或将被存档以用于与之相关的讨论.

Images
如果愿意，您可以向Miraheze提供来自Fandom的图像存档以供自动上传. 请注意，根据Fandom的使用条款，自动爬取图片是违规的，并且图片不在XML存储中提供. 我们认为，手动下载依然合规，但是Miraheze无法在这一过程中为您提供帮助. 由于与您个人上传的图像相关联的一些元数据，您可能在欧盟的GDPR第20条中享有其他权利.

Moving from WikiDot
Moving from WikiDot may pose a more unique challenge. WikiDot does not run MediaWiki, they use a proprietary software solution which is incompatible with MediaWiki.

Some scripts exist to convert WikiDot backups to MediaWiki-compatible XML files. One which has had reported success in the past is this script. Note that it requires an outdated version of Python (2.9) to run and that it is a shell script which may not be intuitive for less technically knowledgeable users.

Exporting via maintenance scripts
If you have server access and if you are moving an entire wiki, the easiest way to do so is using a maintenance script to export your entire wiki. For more information, checkout the documentation on dumpBackup.php on MediaWiki.org. Once you have a database dump, skip to "Importing a wiki."

Exporting images via maintenance scripts
If you have server access, you can use maintenance script dumpImages.php. Once you have an image dump, skip to "Importing a wiki."

Creating a dump via a script
If these methods don't work, you can use WikiTeam's wiki archiving tool to make a XML dump and download all available images at the same time. While it is a useful tool, do note that it does rely on an outdated version of Python in order to run. We can't guarantee it will work on all wikis, nor we will run it for you. You'll have to run it on your own and prepare the data yourself.

从 特殊:导出页面 导出
You can export a wiki manually using Special:Export. That page is self-explanatory, just make sure to uncheck "" as most licenses (such as Creative Commons) require attribution to be rendered so failing to do that will cause legal headaches. While this is useful for smaller wikis or if you're exporting small amounts of pages, it can be tedious to use this interface if exporting an entire wiki.

Caveats

 * Apart from the WikiTeam tool method, none of the methods here export image files. Methods system administrators for processing (via a Phabricator ticket).
 * None of these tools will move user accounts.
 * As always, any data transferred must have the proper copyright, and you must a license or ownership that allows you to host the content at Miraheze (e.g. Creative Commons). If you need to change the license of the wiki as a whole from CC-SA to some other license, please note this in your upload request.

Importing a wiki
There are a few methods for importing a wiki. Generally, you should always have us do large imports as MediaWiki will display an error if the import is over a few kilobytes big. If your import is small enough however, you can do it yourself without needing us.

Do it yourself
If your dump is really small (less than few kilobytes), you can try Special:Import on your wiki (not this wiki, Miraheze Meta). Images cannot be restored imported using that page. If the import is small enough, your import should finish and you’ll be able to use your wiki.

If the import fails, please see below section.

If you choose to do it yourself, you’ll have to manually upload photos yourself. You can use the normal upload interface to do this or you can use the MsUpload extension to drag and drop and upload groups of photos through the wiki editor.

Have us do it
XML (Content) Imports: If your XML dump file is big enough that MediaWiki will likely fail to process it in an appropriate amount of time (files over a few kilobytes), you’ll have to request that a system administrator import it for you. To request that we import the file, please use Special:RequestImportDump and fill in the form.

For image imports, please use Phabricator (Phabricator account required). You can send us your images file in a few different ways:
 * On the Phabricator task, paste a link to where it can be downloaded from (i.e. Google Drive, Dropbox)
 * Send it to sre-mediawiki@undefinedmiraheze.org
 * If it’s small enough, upload it directly to Phabricator

In the meanwhile, while you wait for the import to be done, you should avoid creating new pages that share the same name as pages on your old wiki. That will cause a conflict and the imported version of the page will not override your newly created page. If this happens, you yourself will need to manually restore an older revision of the page through the history tab in order to get an older version of the page to display.

We will disable any editing (including account creation) on the wiki during the import process: Your wiki users will need to create an account on Meta (this wiki!) and use that username and password to log in on the wiki until the import is complete.
