[08:30:12] Hello englishm__! If you have any questions, feel free to ask and someone should answer soon. [15:09:51] Hello. I think I need help importing the copy, as there are problems with special characters like "ż" "ł" "ó" etc. The file I have is fine. The file is in UTF-8 Unix format. [15:33:55] Anyone here able to help with McKeyPL with that question. @McKeyPL, are you perhaps able to clarify that question just a bit? What specific problem(s) are you encountering (i.e., are you receiving an error and, if so, what error)? [15:36:50] im not reciving error. After importing pages its look like this "materia┼éy, kt├│re mog─à zosta─ç z" but in file is " materiały, które mogą zostać" [15:41:41] it may be a problem with an overly large file but I don't know if for sure. The xml file is 22 MB [17:39:37] does it show like those symbols or a small diamond with a "?" inside? [17:39:57] usually, when I import things and forget UTF-8, it shows accents like this [17:40:10] but file is in utf [17:42:37] hmmm, I don't know how this XML handles Polish, but the first results suggests to be a php problem. I'm not sure why would cause that [17:42:58] you can try to test using a decimal in the place of accents [17:44:57] i will create task to import this XML. Probably this is solution [17:46:27] (seems like it's not rendering the less common accents, like ł) [17:52:52] McKeyPL, yeah 22MB is not *that* large, but it may be best honestly to request sysadmins upload it via a maintenance script (a) to ensure you don't hit a 503 error and (b) if there's any errors, they should be returned when the script is run [17:54:09] If it's utf-8 stuff then I doubt that's something we can do [17:54:22] If you email me the file then I can scan through it [17:56:02] https://phabricator.miraheze.org/T6924 😛 [17:56:03] [ ⚓ T6924 Import a large XML dump ] - phabricator.miraheze.org [17:56:17] McKeyPl, great [17:56:21] 😄 [17:57:09] McKeyPL, what wiki will that be imported from? [17:57:15] Looking [17:57:40] I can add the interwiki prefix to the task that sysadmins can specify when they run the script, to link to external wiki users' contributions [17:58:05] its not nesesery [17:58:36] @McKeyPL, oh otherwise you will have a contributions link to `imported>username` instead of a link to `wikiname>username` [17:58:58] so if it was like Polish Wikipedia, it'd be easy to do, but if it's a custom wiki, then yeah, just leave as is [17:59:05] We can try it later [17:59:14] no its not polish wiki 😛 [17:59:21] I don't see anything obviously dodgy in the file [17:59:27] McKeyPL, okay, sounds good. will leave it as is now then [17:59:54] ok. i will be wait [18:02:05] ok [19:13:17] Hello, I was wondering how likely it would be that a wiki that was archived a few months ago would still be retrievable? during the pandemic the nonprofit it was attached to had to cease operations and noone thought to update it to keep the Dormancy Policy from cleaning it up. The site in question is https://santrovelo.miraheze.org/wiki/. Thanks. [19:13:17] [ Wiki not Found ] - santrovelo.miraheze.org [19:33:14] @rudi51, looking [19:35:22] @rudi51, it seems the wiki was deleted in the September 2020 batch (https://phabricator.miraheze.org/P346). Do you know if your wiki was private or public? [19:35:23] [ ✎ P346 Deleted wikis 25/09/2020 ] - phabricator.miraheze.org [19:36:09] If public, there should be a public XML export for it. If private, I can check with Reception123 and see if the deletedbackups for that batch are still available in a private secure area of Miraheze servers [19:38:30] it's there :) [19:38:48] Reception123, great, I'll do a Phabricator task and recreate the wiki [19:39:02] and there's also an older public XML export (https://archive.org/details/wikibackups27102019.tar) too [19:39:04] [ wikibackups27102019.tar : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive ] - archive.org [19:39:33] hey, you folks are the best, I tried looking in the internet archive but I couldn't find anything [19:40:01] if you can save it you would make my day [19:40:13] @rudi51, what's your wiki username? [19:40:45] dmehus: Hi [19:41:05] BurningPrincess1, hi [19:41:28] I dreamed of Miraheze might night [19:41:35] ok [19:41:46] @rudi51, what's the username you use on Miraheze? [19:42:11] @dmehus this is the next problem I have to tackle, I am not sure what the account that was used to create the page was, I am a volunteer at the collective, I will create an account on miraheze now and get back to you with the details [19:46:39] @dmehus Rudi51 is my username (turns out I registered a while back) [19:47:15] @rudi51, okay looking [19:47:57] Strange, I don't see any approved wiki requests for that username [19:48:17] or for what database name for that matter [19:49:00] Oh, you just created Rudi51 [19:49:07] what was your old account? [19:50:45] that is a very good question, because the organisation is a bit transient we are still trying to figure out who created the wiki in the first place and which account it was tied to [19:51:08] ah [19:53:16] Okay, well, to save me downloading the *.zip file to extract your wiki's XML export and locate the very first revisions on your wiki to find out who created it, can you please go to Special:RequestWikiQueue, enter a sitename (title) for your wiki, your subdomain as santrovelo.miraheze.org and describe in a few sentences your wiki's purpose and scope [19:53:33] When that's done, I'll create the wiki and file a Phabricator task for the import [19:53:54] perfect, thank you for your help [19:54:20] @rudi51, no problem, and the link is actually https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWiki [19:54:21] [ Request a wiki - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [19:57:56] @Doug All done, request #16976 [19:59:20] Request approved @Doug [20:00:42] thanks, Sario [20:00:47] I'll do the Phabricator task now [20:20:54] thanks again for your help, very much appreciated [20:28:54] One last question: we were wondering what would be the process for requesting an exemption to the Dormancy Policy, a lot of the data on there is rarely edited so I wonder if this will happen again [20:31:12] You need to create a thread on [[SN]] with a clear reason. A Steward will then get back to you as soon as possible. :) [20:31:12]

https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/SN [20:31:15] [ Stewards' noticeboard - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [20:33:43] thanks again! [20:58:12] Thanks...I'll wait to review that until after the import is done. [20:58:55] Why tell (and ping) me? [21:01:35] Discord does that automatically now when you hit "reply". You cannot remove a ping anymore. I just wanted to acknowledge your helpful reply to the user, and by using the "reply" feature, it creates a link to refer back to the original post. [21:05:19] There is a button that says "@ ON". Please click that unless you are sure you want to ping me. I find it annoying when people ping me for nothing when I am doing something. [21:13:53] Ah, yeah, I've never used that before. I guess I thought disabling that would disable it until reenabled (i.e., change the default setting). Will try and do that more often then. [21:15:24] Thank you. [21:22:51] No problem, and thanks for clarifying that feature for me. [21:53:42] The thread has been created, thanks [22:46:03] rudi51, thanks. I've placed it on hold to review until the Phabricator import task is done and I can assess
