WikiTeam3

You can easily generate a database dump and file dump using Save the Web Project's WikiTeam3 Python script, (full instructions are at that link).

 Windows is unsupported. Use WSL to run WikiTeam3 on Windows.

e.g. wikiteam3dumpgenerator https://WIKINAME.miraheze.org --xml --images --bypass-cdn-image-compression --force

To dump a private wiki you will have to use a login that has at least read permission on the wiki.

e.g. wikiteam3dumpgenerator https://WIKINAME.miraheze.org --xml --images --bypass-cdn-image-compression --force --user USER --pass PASSWORD

  • --xml exports an XML dump using Special:Export
  • --images generates an image dump
  • --bypass-cdn-image-compression doesn't drop any images compressed by a content delivery network
  • --force generates a dump even if there is one already at Internet Archive

If you encounter any problem with running the script, please raise a new issue at the Save the Web Project's WikiTeam3 GitHub repository.
