Per your team's announcement of the plan of recovering the old db141 database and then importing edits from a backup of the recreated wikis, it is in my interest to instead have the recreated wiki backup as the base of my wiki and I manually extract part of the wiki dump from my old data to either manually copy and paste in (for recreated pages) or import dump some other parts of it.
Per conversation with @Agent_Isai, it will probably require deleting and recreating the wiki again to achieve this. As this will probably be stalled until the wikis are back up, I'm filing this to Phab so that it won't get completely lost.
I believe these would be the steps to do after wiki recovery:
- Wiki recovery
- XML Dump of Nov pre-crash version
- XML Dump of Dec recreated version (sent via Discord DM fr Cosmic to Lucifer)
- Backup and delete wiki
- Recreate wiki (details provided again below FYI)
- Relink images
- Import Dec 18 backup for the recreated (3.0) wiki
- (my part) Uploading data dump requests for pages I need to import again (or if I can import them myself I will do so)
Additionally I would ask if it is possible to recover image uploading history when relinking the images, coz it will now permanently say it is (first) uploaded by a bot script.
Thanks!
