>Reference was made to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Exporting_all_the_files_of_a_wiki but it's very confusing involving Purl scripts and I'm wondering if anyone could help me understand how to run these. I'm not sure I can learn to use Purl quickly enough.

You just copy the names into a text editor and then run the python script to cover all names listed in the text editor. This is MS Excel + Python script tier, anon. Stop freaking out and just read it slowly.

>>878530

I'm glad you understand.

https://animebaths.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Statistics allows a pages/history dump of xml.7z file

It's merely 8.5MB which I think represents all the TEXT/CODE composing the wiki. The problem is the files hosted there, I want to download them all too so I can eventually mass upload them wherever we can find a new home for it.

>>878540

Yours is a great idea, and you should definitely go start a Wikia project on that, but I expect if you include examples like the image there, some frothing feminist would eventually find and report it and compel them to take the site down.

so the more we can learn about archival/moving/restoration of these community projects, the more we can save them against Wikia and other companies' censorship when the free providers come to axe

I never knew this wiki existed, and I don't think I would use it myself. But, I would see this as a dear loss if someone's passion and labor was wholly erased because others won't accept its content.

>>878526

>says "choose the desired article/file." which I don't really understand.

See the field that says "Namespace"? Change (Main) to File. You'll get a list of segments of the files (nearly 150 sections of 350 files each, what the fuck). Paste those into a spreadsheet and line them all up in one column. Proceed with instructions from where it tells you to do stuff in B1.

>Anime Bath Scene Wiki is a collective database archiving bathing scenes from anime, manga and other related media and showing the various elements involving them. We WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS on the material covered.

>Please also note that this is NOT A PORNOGRAPHIC SITE and even though there may be suggestive content, it is not the main focus or intent. Due to Wikia's image policies, any images of explicit nudity or strongly suggestive acts WILL NOT BE ALLOWED on here. There is an uncensored version of the wiki which can be found here [http://animebathscenewiki.com/index.php?title=Main_Page] where the explicit material is allowed.

Perhaps we won't have anything to worry about with regard to losing the content.

>>878549

1900 pages of broken file links. 6k+ page wikia vs. <3.7k page separate site. I think there might be a little bit of missing material.

Part of the problem is that WM was mainly using ABSW to back up stuff we had to censor, because otherwiser we had to delete the images or put spoiler graphics overtop of nipples/crotches. Which is why it's so absurd they're deleting it ANYWAY, as we fastidiously abided by their ToU despite all the extra effort it took...

>>878544

>(nearly 150 sections of 350 files each, what the fuck). Paste those into a spreadsheet

I'm wondering if there might be some faster way to do this than manually copying 150 pages by hand-drag? Like mine it from the dump file somehow?

That wiki is an international treasure.

>>878563

Isn't there also a pantyshot wiki or something? People might want to see if that's within wikia's domain to purge, and thus also in need of backing up.

Normalfags getting their panties in a twist over mundane things. How surprising.

>>878519

It wouldn't be too hard for me to write a script to download all the images, but what metadata do you want me to keep?

Is just the filename enough, or do you want usernames and links to other pages as well?

>>878519

They already exported the entire site to a different wiki a long time ago.

>>878582

I used to have it but I lost all of my favorites a long time ago

>>879001

The fact that they shut down baths is kind of a new low though, even by normalfaggotry standards.

>>880100

I blame SHAFT. I think they're the ones who popularized the giant zit style of skin shine.

Update to >>879299

I've set it downloading all 51386 files without any metadata besides filenames.

Let me know if you guys want anything else backed up.

>>879001

>implying normalfags are the cause of this particular situation

Watermaiden's a guy despite the username, right?

>>878577

dubs verify

>>878580

could just be that nobody who edits the wiki has seen the series yet. WM is probably the only dedicated editor and there's a limit to what one person can do. I'll pass along the suggestion though.

>>878582

>>879947

sorry but they killed that by 2015, here's the last archive I could find of it https://web.archive.org/web/20141208190213/http://pantsu.wikia.com/wiki/Pantsu_Wiki

>>879352

not the entire site, no. Maybe 10% of it it was copied, there's a lot of gaps. Help is needed with archiving it before they kill it. We can focus on rehosting once archive data is untouchable.

>>880052

walk me through this?

>>880116

Appreciate this, are you able to upload the 51000 files to a place like Mega so I could download a copy as well and get a link to WM?

>>880128

I doubt a normalfag would have heard of the wiki or browsed it enough to hold a grudge against it, so likely some alarmist trying to gain points internally or just trying to "burn everything" hating each other's joy.

>>880338

I started editing in 2010 after WM started the wiki in 2009, and I honestly don't know after all this time, it doesn't particularly matter IMO.

Just use wget© to make an archive of that wiki.

>>880411

All of the html is totally useless since, as far as I'm aware, the wikia admins have already offered to provide a full database backup (minus the images).

Wget would also download a bunch of extra junk (icons, adverts, etc) and mix those in with the wiki images. Sorting that mess out would require some coding anyway.

>>880367

>are you able to upload the 51000 files to a place like Mega

Uploading to Mega now. It'll take at least 13 hours though. There are 15.3 GB of images.

Man, this really pisses me off.

These super specific passion wikis are a part of modern internet that reminds me a bit of the old personal pages of older internet, but instead of 1 dude painstakingly putting together something (and oftem missing a lot in the process) we get a small dedicated group doing it, but now faggots want to sterilize even those kinds of sites? These assholes can fuck right off.

Wish you the best of luck, OP. Unfortunately I have no computer knowledge, but you are fighting the good fight. I have no interest in the subject matter either, but I understand perfectly what you are doing.

>>880424

I didn't notice any throttling, fortunately.

There were a handful of "files" which couldn't be scraped for various reasons. Most of them are links to youtube videos. A couple of images have already been censored by wikia. For the sake of completeness I've listed them below:

What the fuck has caused all this nonsense?

>>879001

>Normalfags

This is clearly some veiled threat.

Probably - target our rings, we'll target your fantasies.

>>880367

>so likely some alarmist trying to gain points internally or just trying to "burn everything" hating each other's joy.

Definitely not the first, more the latter, it seems like the places that are affected recently are those actively digging into "skeletons in the closet" within our society. They're trying to sanitise these places to tame the places.

>>880539

Here's the tar.gz containing all the images.

If there are any problems let me know.

>>880367

>walk me through this?

Just install the program and set it to download all pictures and hyperlinks, it's not rocket science

>>880584

What do you mean by rings?

>>878528

<We are currently reviewing wikis that we consider to be fetish or ecchi wikis

Their intentions for removing it may be silly, but they aren't WRONG about what it is.

>>880732

It's some kind of conspiracy shit about pedophile rings, no doubt posted by crossboarders.

>>880814

I see. Sounds like it's not relevant then.

>>880582

save the children alarmism

>>880657

I got this same URL via e-mail from ClawFootQueen, is legit

>>878519

And nothing of value was lost.

>>880100

>>880103

It looks fucking great.

It really gives off a feeling of a skin as sensitive and smooth as a baby's.

>>880582

Advertising, most likely.

So it got deleted, did anyone back it up?

>>886265

No idea, but someone with Watermaiden's wikia account just went around posting goatse on a bunch of wikis.
