What is a Wikimedia Backup?

A wikimedia backup contains all of a wiki’s data in an XML file. This includes pages, revisions, discussion pages and files (but not user data).

This is useful for emergencies such as a deliberate internet blackout by activists or unexpected problems such as power outages. It can also help prevent censorship.

Database backup

A database backup is a file containing all the data in the wiki’s MySQL/MariaDB database. It includes pages and their revisions, discussions, user accounts, image galleries (including deleted images), wikitext markup, metadata, and search index. It does not include user passwords, email addresses, or any other personal information.

A wikispace owner can create a database backup using the space tools menu, or by visiting Special:DataDump on their own wiki. The wiki administrator can also request a new database dump by clicking the “Send request” button, which will update the date on the download options.

It is recommended that users back up their wikis regularly, even if they never need to restore them. A good time to make a backup is after installing an extension such as DeletedImagesRestore or MediawikiDumpToStaticHTML, which will automatically generate an HTML version of your wiki for offline reading. This can be especially useful in case of deliberate blackouts such as the January 2012 protest of SOPA and PIPA.

File backup

Unlike pages, media files are stored as regular files on the file system rather than as blobs in the database. As such, a complete backup also includes the media directory (usually named wiki/images/) as well as derived thumbnails in the thumbs/ folder. These are stored separately from the XML database dumps and can be archived using simple *nix commands. The size of the media archive is largely dependent on the size of the wiki and its image files; for example, a full English Wikipedia dump requires about 7.5 gigabytes of space and can take several hours to download over a typical connection.

ITS captures a file backup of the entire wiki environment and individual spaces once every 21 days. If you need to restore an individual space after that, you must make your own backup. This is important because any work done on your space after the backup was taken will be irretrievable. The backup contains the XML file for all current pages and all page history. The file may be large for communities with many pages or revisions.

Image backup

The MediaWiki software engineers decided that images should be stored as regular files on the file system, rather than BLOBs in the database. So backing up the database does not back up your wiki’s images, which should be backed up separately.

If your wiki is large, you might want to consider backing up all the data and files in an unstructured repository (such as tapes, DVD-Rs or external hard drives). This method requires a significant amount of manual intervention.

It can take a while to restore an image backup, depending on the size of your wiki and how much you have backed up. It is best to practice restoring your backups, to become familiar with the process and prevent future anguish. There is a cross-platform program called XOWA that can be used to view and render wiki dumps.

Restore

A wiki contains many different types of data. It is important to backup these files regularly, so that you can restore your data if needed. You can use the wikimedia backup tool to make these backups. The wikimedia backup tool can also be used to move your wiki from one server to another.

You should also backup your file system components, e.g., images, extensions, and custom skins. This can be a time-consuming task, depending on the size of your wiki.

To automate the backup process, you can use a cron job. Cron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. The following example shows a script that runs every day at 5:10 AM. It checks a directory for backups and restores them if necessary. The backup files are then stored in a special folder. The script also creates a symlink from each backup to the new version of the wiki. This ensures that the latest changes are backed up, even when the original database is updated.

What is an L Wiki?

L is the twelfth letter of the Latin alphabet. It is also the name of a number of places:

Unlike his manga and anime counterparts, the live-action L sits properly (albeit with his feet on tables) and has a sweet tooth. He is also far bolder in his confrontations with Light.

About this wiki

The wiki is easy to use, just click the edit tab at the top of the page. A toolbar will appear, which shows how to use the wiki markup language for formatting text (e.g. bold, italics). The wiki markup is similar to HTML but simpler. You can also add images, links to other articles and web pages.

Derrick Higginbotham, associate professor of English at Barnard College, used a wiki in his course to provide students with collaborative space for close reading and analysis of texts. He used a wiki as part of his “Bible in American Culture” and his “Literary Analysis of the Hebrew Bible” courses.

This table lists the 336 active Wikipedias and 0 mo: interlanguage Wikipedias. It excludes 13 Wikipedias that were closed and moved to the Wikimedia Incubator for further development, and does not include new wikis created by the community. If a wiki you are aware of is not listed here, please post a note on its talk page.

Contributions

A wiki provides an opportunity for your team to share knowledge and build upon each other’s ideas. This can increase productivity by reducing the amount of time spent looking for information. It can also help cut costs by reducing the need for consultants or training programs.

The wiki’s versioning feature makes it easy to see the changes made to an article, as well as who changed it. This can be helpful if you are collaborating with someone new to the wiki. This helps avoid confusion over what is being edited and when.

A user’s contributions are listed on their user page, Special:Mycontributions. This can be accessed by entering a username, IP address, or CIDR range. This page shows all edits a user has made in the namespace of the current wiki. It may take a while to update, especially after pages are moved between wikis. The edits on this page are not public domain unless the user has explicitly released them under the CC0 license.

Templates

As a general rule, it is better to use existing templates (at the WT:Grease Pit) than to create new ones; if you have an idea for a template, it may be worth asking whether somebody else has already written one for the same purpose. If you do write a template, be sure to test it on the page where it will be used, or in the wikitests/sandbox, or in your user subpage, before using it anywhere else; see Help:Templates for more information.

Parameters which are not named in the template call are called unnamed parameters; if a parameter reference has a default value, it is known as a parameter alias. Unnamed parameters are not expanded by the nowiki> tag, so you must include all of the parameter’s wikitext within the nowiki> tag.

When a template is used in an article, any wikitext inside the nowiki> tag is replaced by the template’s expansion. This includes any nowiki> tags, and also the contents of the inserted wikitext, such as a table, list or other recurring text.

Forums

A forum is a discussion area for a website. It can be used by a community to discuss topics related to the site, or for other purposes. This is often a more informal way of interacting than writing an email or a letter, and can be less formal than a blog post. Forums allow one-to-many communication (posts) and many-to-one responses (comments). Posts are presented in reverse chronological order, and comments are threaded to make it easier for readers to follow a conversation.

Some forums have specific terms of use, e.g. n00b: newbie; also known as a noob or nub. Others are unrestricted and open to all users, with the exception of commercial content. Some have additional terms of use, such as troll: someone who harasses other users by posting offensive messages. Occasionally, a forum will be closed temporarily, such as when an account has been hacked. Closing a forum is sometimes accompanied by a renaming or moving of the threaded conversations to another section.
