Webkinz Guide[edit source]

What's your plan for saving Webkinz Guide? I suggest creating a backup wiki somewhere else. Because at this rate, things seem hopeless and if we want to save Webkinz Guide, we've got to come up with a plan. Buzzfan120 (talk) 22:11, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The last time the wiki had a backup was approximately six months ago, which means that we'll have lost six months' worth of data, and if this keeps up, it will take ages to recover. Not to mention that the database error happened on the very day Webkinz World had its monthly update, which means new items. I hope someone has images of those new items, and I hope you guys have images of items from the previous few updates saved somewhere. And there'll be even more in the next update, so I hope it gets fixed before then. If not, we may need to create a backup wiki somewhere else. I also suggest backing up the wiki more regularly, like maybe once a month, in case something like this happens again.

We also have the option to request a re-creation of the wiki, but then we'll have to start over from scratch. Again, I hope you guys still have the files saved somewhere.

Please pass this message along to the other Webkinz Guide admins, and keep me updated on the plans to save our wiki! Buzzfan120 (talk) 22:54, 2 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi again. I found images of the new items at webkinzguide.miraheze.org, and am glad to see that all our files are safe. Maybe we can use this as a backup wiki. Then when Webkinz World has its next update, we can upload images of the next batch of items that will be added in that update, so even if the database issues take a long time to get fixed, we'll know where to go to find old images and upload new ones. I still recommend backing up the wiki more regularly in case something bad happens. If the other Webkinz Guide admins don't know about this yet, please pass this message on to them.
