Any suggestions?

Backing up Warhammer Articles edit

I've read you have the three weapons and vehicles articles for Tau, Necron and Imperium backed up.

There are also a few more articles that need backing up, as they have been nominated for AfD:

  • Space Marine Scouts  Done
  • Adeptus Mechanicus
  • Cult Mechanicus
  • Iron Hands  Done
  • Gene Seed
  • Officio Assassinorum

I saw two of those this morning, I'll get the rest tonight. --Falcorian (talk) 17:12, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply


If I may take the opportunity to ask, how do you back up articles? Copy paste? AlmondManTwo (talk) 14:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

No, a little better than that... I wrote a script in python that uses Special:Export to export the entire history of the article. I have it hosted here. This allows admins at other wiki's to use Special:Import on the file and import the article and history. Gives you an article on the new wiki that looks like it's always been there. Of course, you need to add a note to the bottom saying you got it from Wikipedia. --Falcorian (talk) 17:12, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your recent edits edit

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 18:37, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply


Undoing the redirect edit

Since you don't believe those articles should be redirected, I'm going to mass AFD the lot. just some advanced notice. --Allemandtando (talk) 17:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

My mistake, inadvertently clicked 'save' when I was copy and pasting the information. Carry on AlmondManTwo (talk) 18:00, 7 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
