GuildWiki talk:Database dumps

Size
How about specifying the size of the dumps as well? All articles = 37.44MB, build articles = 5.62MB. -- Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 22:50, 4 May 2007 (CDT)

Images
What about images, like maps? They don't seem to be in the dump. Do I use a modified Wikix program? That seems pretty server-hostile. 85.214.63.253 14:00, 6 May 2007 (CDT)


 * That would be moderately server-hostile, yes. Do it at night, if you need to. &mdash;Tanaric 19:10, 6 May 2007 (CDT)

Problem reading dump
Hmm, I can't seem to import the dump in my Mediawiki installation. I get the message 'Unknown import source type'. Anyone succeeded in importing these dumps? Of course I extracted the xml files. They look ok at a glance. --Toxaris 06:05, 12 May 2007 (CDT)
 * That error doesn't mean the dump is bad but either that something is messed up with your MW install or you're just doing something wrong. The "import source" for Special:Import is supposed to either be a file upload or an interwiki transfer.  For example, if you view Special:Import on your wiki and look at the HTML for the page, you can see a hidden field in the form with name "source" and value "upload".  You can look at the code in includes/SpecialImport.php for where it checks the value against "upload" and "transwiki" but shows that error if it's not either.  --Fyren 06:28, 12 May 2007 (CDT)
