[04:16:37] <Prodi> (SilverCrono): spoken to a few people about moving a wiki off wikia | |||
[04:16:53] <SilverCrono> ya? | |||
[04:16:58] <Prodi> it seems that the database dump only contains the pages | |||
[04:17:04] <Prodi> images all have to be done manually | |||
[04:17:13] <Prodi> i have a bot I u sed to use to transfer images before | |||
[04:17:22] <Prodi> going to take a look at that, fix it up, so it can all be done automatically | |||
[04:17:35] <Prodi> concensus has been reached that you guys are ready to move? | |||
[04:17:49] <Prodi> no dissenting opinions? | |||
[04:18:12] <SilverCrono> images have to be done manually? | |||
[04:18:17] <SilverCrono> if you can provide a bot, great | |||
[04:18:21] <SilverCrono> if not....agh | |||
[04:18:39] <SilverCrono> but once you give the word, I'll lock editing, we should be ready to go | |||
[04:19:42] <Prodi> kk | |||
[04:19:59] <Prodi> doubt it'll be this weekend, as I'm going all day paintballing on sunday :D | |||
[04:22:46] <Prodi> you tried clicking that "create export" a few weeks ago right? | |||
[04:22:52] <Prodi> do you know how long it took before the export was ready? | |||
[04:26:39] <SilverCrono> nope | |||
[04:26:57] <Prodi> k | |||
[04:27:13] <Prodi> what should the new hostname be? | |||
[04:29:55] <SilverCrono> chronopedia.net | |||
[04:30:01] <SilverCrono> or something relating to Chronopedia | |||
[04:30:23] <Prodi> have other moves from wikia stuck with the the same wiki name? | |||
[04:30:46] <Prodi> cause it'd mean a direct fight with wikia for the search engine ranking | |||
[04:31:06] <Prodi> might be better as ChronoWiki or something | |||
[04:32:35] <Prodi> i don't really know which one is better | |||
[04:32:39] <Prodi> anywayz, i gotta sleep | |||
[04:32:43] <Prodi> will chat tomorrow night | |||
[04:32:56] <SilverCrono> k | |||

Yep, so lots of updates. Basically, the permanent SEIWA name is now [seiwanetwork.org here]. And they have a forum (keep in mind it is heavily in progress) in which I am active - [seiwanetwork.org/forums/ here]. And as you can see from the IRC conversation I held last night, the move is almost ready. When Prod gives the ok, I'll have to lock editing for a while until he moves us. The reason behind this is that all wikis have a ''database'' that you can export (he asked me about this in the conversation), which you need to get all our articles to a new wiki-based, independent domain. The reason why I'll stop editing here is because with every edit, the database is behind. And we don't wanna re-do three pages of editing, do we? No, we don't. Crono is here to help ;) | |||
There are about two forseeable problems, three actually. One is that, like Prod said, he might not be able to export our images. We'll pass that when we get there, because he said he might find a bot that can do them for us. The next problem is the length of the database lock. I'll stop editing, say, Monday, and hit the "create export" button on a page here that will update our database. With no editing, the database will be exactly what we have on the wiki, and this updated export might take a while to...well, update. So the editing lock might end up lasting for a week, maybe even longer. I don't know. All we really need for this is for you guys to trust me and don't edit (kind of weird advice for a wiki, eh?) Finally, we might not be able to get the domain I suggested, chronopedia.net . Just to be on the safe side, would you guys mind telling me (right here) any other names you'd be fine with? | |||
Hope this helped, guys. Crono out. --{{SC/Sig}} 15:33, July 16, 2011 (UTC) | |||
