Paladox,
Would you be able to provide us any details as to how much Miraheze would need in donations for the server space to become available?

Not to my knowledge. This one's already pretty small compared to the ~60 GB one we had earlier.

Paladox, did the new file work?

I'm not sure how I would confirm that from the XML file. If that one isn't working, we do have another smaller one we'd like to try:

The dump isn't being generated, it's from an xml archive of the wiki in the state it was a few years ago; we would prefer to import the wiki in the state it was then, rather than its current state.

What kind of funding do you need, and for what kind of upgrades?

Paladox, would you be able to import the shorter one for now?

Let's wait until we know what the timeline (if there is one) is for increasing the storage space. If it isn't so long it's a non-issue.

I see. If you aren't planning on upgrading in the near future, I believe Helmet has another file we can use--it's smaller, but contains no pictures or post history.

This should be the link to the uploaded file, Paladox.

Thanks for the tip, hosted link should be coming through later today.

Hello Paladox,
given that we've had some issues uploading the file to Phabricator directly, would it be preferable to host it on a third party and send it to you that way, in case our second attempt fails?

I believe it's in progress by Helmet...it's a big file.

Great! I thought you had already, I was more curious if there was a way to see how far along the import was, like a progress bar of sorts.

Don't suppose there's any way we can keep track of the import progress?
