Forum:Import underway

Forums - Import underway

This page is an archive. Please do not edit the contents of this page. No reason for archiving given. The mainspace import here has just got underway! (200 pages done so far.) It will take about 25 hours as of my current calculations, so thing s will be appearing slowly, but in a little while we should have just a couple more pages! ;) (22 039 to be precise) After that, I will begin importing talk, brickipedia, brickipedia talk, template, template talk, help, help talk, category, category talk, review, review talk, inventory, and inventory talk. Have I missed any namespaces? Now, I have noticed that lego.wikia seems to have a few more thousand than me, and they can't have all appeared on wikia since I generated the list of pages a week or so ago. I imagine some of these are pages with strange characters in their titles that have got lost somewhere, and I'm not sure how redirects are treated at the mo. We'll just have to see how bad it is, but all I need to import pages is a simple list of page titles, so importing those that got missed shouldn't be too tricky. As I finish writing this, the number has gone up to 500, and no sign of a problem anywhere. =D UltrasonicNXT (talk) Yay! :D Berrybrick (talk) 19:47, 6 January 2014 (UTC) There's a "Magazine" content namespace too (I've configured it in LocalSettings for import). On Brickia, it has only 5 or so articles, but we could probably make better use of it as time passes here. The reason there are several thousand more on Brickia than what you have is because of the Custom namespace on Brickia, which is our customs wiki (that's my guess at least, but odd characters is a possibility, since they imported strangely last time IIRC too...) --ToaMeiko (talk) 05:15, 7 January 2014 (UTC) Ah, of course, customs, that would explain it. This makes it look a lot better, and the import method this time should be safer with regards to odd characters than last time. UltrasonicNXT (talk) How did/is it go(ing)? Berrybrick (talk) 22:29, 8 January 2014 (UTC) Going by the search bar, it is on M. CJC95 (talk) 23:52, 8 January 2014 (UTC) Going fine, over halfway now, 60% (of the mainspace) done. UltrasonicNXT (talk) It's not alphabetical order CJC :P UltrasonicNXT (talk) But it was doing it alphabetically - at least some of it - it started with the numbers, then went through letters, as you could go to m and there was stuff, but none for the letters after :P CJC95 (talk) 22:41, 10 January 2014 (UTC) Did it? Oh, maybe it did... :) UltrasonicNXT (talk) I'm currently moving all the templates to "Template:Original name (pre-import)" to allow me to safely import leog.wikia's templates without overwriting any customizations made here. I will move them back after the template import. UltrasonicNXT (talk) I've got into a massive mess here, sorry UltrasonicNXT (talk) Well there are now redirects everywhere seemingly, and I don't want to do any more botting for fear of making it worse, so I (we? :) ) are just going to have to manually move things and delete things until they are right. I think a maximum of 100 templates are affected, the rest should be fine. UltrasonicNXT (talk) All fixed now. UltrasonicNXT (talk) Mainspace nearly done, starting off other namespaces now. UltrasonicNXT (talk) We will need to manually import some MediaWiki: pages, notably Common.js, and port Wikia.js. UltrasonicNXT (talk) Done. All done now!! =D UltrasonicNXT (talk) Awesome :D I'll start editing here now -LFY1547 14:43, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
