Wiki URLhttps://chimai.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

Hello,

I have exported my website www.chimai.com into mediawiki format. All the files are here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1X_bx6vxtZRQSzadXFQXK8wMsuKsOOKmx?usp=sharing

The pages (in pages.zip) are all txt files.
The images are spread across 4 zip files.

I do not have a MediaWiki running anywhere, so I'm not sure I can comply with the requirement of creating an XML Dump. Sorry about that. I hope you can manage the import this way.

Thank you

Didier

@DidierThunus Hi. Unfortunately due to the way MediaWiki works it isn't possible to import pages in a way other than using XML.

Thanks for your reply.
I have now looked at the XML dump format and I think I can generate it.
I have a question however: the "sha1" field seems to be a 31-characters hash. SHA-1 normally generates a 40-characters hashes. Any advice how I can generate the correct hash?
Thank you.

I'm not sure why a hash would be involved? Generating a dump would be done via https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:DumpBackup.php

I managed to create an XML dump. However it is too big for me to upload via the Special:Import.
Can I ask you to import it for me?

@DidierThunus One last question: could you please give the original link of the wiki? (For copyright attribution)

DidierThunus added a comment.Aug 5 2021, 16:37

The source for the info is a website I have been managing for 20 years. It is not a wiki, it is a ColdFusion/SqlServer site. The address is www.chimai.com. I have converted the pages into mediawiki, but this version has not yet been hosted anywhere. Thank you.

Thank you so much for importing all the pages!

Now I still need you to import the images. There are many so I really hope you can do something for me.

Here they are, spread over 3 zip files:

Please, I need you to tell me if importing my images will be possible. There is no way I can upload them one by one. Thanks a lot.
