Line 1: === WikiTeam3 === You can easily generate a database dump and file dump using Save the Web Project's [https://github.com/saveweb/wikiteam3/~~blob/v4-main/README.md~~ WikiTeam3] Python script, (full instructions are at that link). {{note\|<nowiki>Windows: When using --images, because NTFS does not allow characters such as :?"<>\| in filenames, some files may not be downloaded, please check the errors.log file.</nowiki>}} ~~{{note\|Windows is unsupported. Use [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install WSL] to run WikiTeam3 on Windows.}}~~ e.g. <code>~~wikiteam3dumpgenerator~~ <nowiki>wikiteam3dumpgenerator https://WIKINAME.miraheze.org~~</nowiki>~~ --xml --xmlrevisions --images --bypass-cdn-image-compression --force</nowiki></code> To dump a private wiki you will have to use a login that has at least read permission on the wiki. e.g. <code>~~wikiteam3dumpgenerator~~ <nowiki>wikiteam3dumpgenerator https://WIKINAME.miraheze.org~~</nowiki>~~ --xml --xmlrevisions --images --bypass-cdn-image-compression --force --user USER --pass PASSWORD</nowiki></code> --xml exports an XML dump, ~~using~~uses Special:Export by default when no other xmldump method is specified. * --xmlrevisions uses API:Allrevisions xmldump method. Recommended as it's quicker and puts almost no pressure on the MediaWiki backend compared to Special:Export. * --images generates an image dump * --bypass-cdn-image-compression ~~doesn't~~appends ~~drop~~random ~~any~~parameters ~~images~~to ~~compressed~~URL bywhen adownloading ~~content delivery network~~image * --force generates a dump even if there is one already at Internet Archive If you encounter any problem with running the script, please [https://github.com/saveweb/wikiteam3/issues raise a new issue] at the Save the Web Project's [https://github.com/saveweb/wikiteam3/~~blob~~ saveweb/~~v4-main/README.md~~ WikiTeam3] GitHub repository. == Restoring from backup ==
