Need Help Transferring from Fandom to Miraheze!
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hello there, my name is HarmonTower805 and I am the admin and owner of the Horrible Music and Songs wikia on Fandom. However, as of a couple months ago Fandom is having us move out but allowed us to download a dump to be able to transfer to another website.

We decided to go with Miraheze and after a couple months they gave us the dump on wikia, but it was broken so I had to get a .xml.7z (via email) and I went over to upload it using the "Import pages" but I was given error code after error code (including "Import failed: Expected <mediawiki> tag, got") every time I tried uploading.

I went to stewards/community tabs for help and I was told that that file I was using was "broken" and that I should go to you guys for help. So my question is if there is anything that you guys can do to transfer my Fandom wikia to the new Miraheze?

Won't open on my phone but if no other Sysadmin does before the morning then I'll try and get it to work

@HarmonTower805 There seems to have been a warning/issue but only at the end. Could you please check if what you needed got imported?

Yes most of the pages have come through and I thank you for all your hard work, but I have noticed that a lot pages are missing such as Ice Cream, Blame It On Your Love, Straight White Male, Lovely Peaches, Tom McDonald, Johnny Rebel, along with several others...Could you check to see if those were listed in the dump please?

That means that the dump was incomplete. It means Fandom's dump is probably all messed up.

@HarmonTower805 Per @Universal_Omega have you tried to email Fandom and ask them?

Seems mostly imported, no response to the above in almost a week. Please re-open once answered.
