Is there a process for me to transfer a wiki that I created on Fandom over to Miraheze? There's one in particular I'm thinking of but I'm not sure if the process can be done.

Yup, we can help you export pages + images and import them for you

Hmm

#

There

#

@fluid lodge

#

Although that reads a bit waffly, there's a bot in here that can be used to generate the image + xml exports from fandom

#

And you can request for us to import it for you

I would like that. I have one called FMH: Fantasy Media Hub. It only has 35 pages but does have a good number of images on there.

@zenith flare Question... does the transfer include all templates made on Fandom?

zenith flare Jan 27, 2025, 8:13 PM

#

Yes

#

@hidden tusk can you do your magic

Approved it just now.

fluid lodge Jan 28, 2025, 12:58 AM

#

Yeah I got an email saying it was approved.

#

Cool. I see the wiki created but I'm waiting for the imports to go through.

It will take a few hours, as RhinosF1 is sound asleep atm. (UTC time)

fluid lodge Jan 28, 2025, 1:18 AM

#

Understandable.

zenith flare Jan 28, 2025, 8:21 PM

I have no idea why this was waiting on me

I can make the task though

I just saw it. I thought templates and images were transferred.

#

I don't see them there.

heavy frost Jan 29, 2025, 9:23 PM

@zenith flare ⬆️ Could you check?

zenith flare Jan 29, 2025, 9:50 PM

Images should have transferred as well as all pages

Page counts match

Not the templates though. They don't look right at the moment.

zenith flare Jan 29, 2025, 9:58 PM

#

@fluid lodge they have been imported

#

I suspect it's cache problems

#

Do you have an example page where a template is broken?

fluid lodge Jan 29, 2025, 10:40 PM

#

I'm on my laptop now. Images still taking a while.

Not all templates were imported.

You need to enable portable infoboxes

Okay. I just did. What do I do from here?

heavy frost Jan 30, 2025, 1:21 AM

#

They should become active instantly

fluid lodge Jan 30, 2025, 3:05 AM

#

I did enable those portable infoboxes. Still not showing up the way they're supposed to.

dull osprey Jan 30, 2025, 3:34 AM

#

I added <onlyinclude> tags around the infobox template to fix it. No idea why it works, but I had a similar issue on another wiki with an infobox that broke after the update to mediawiki 1.43

heavy frost Jan 30, 2025, 3:35 AM

#

Please purge https://fantasymediahub.miraheze.org/wiki/WMFL-TV?action=purge

#

Should work now indeed

fluid lodge Jan 30, 2025, 11:43 PM

#

I just did. The templates all show up now, thankfully.

heavy frost Jan 31, 2025, 12:22 AM

#

Nice!

fluid lodge Jan 31, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

However, the images are still a problem.

fluid lodge Jan 31, 2025, 9:40 AM

#

Like for example, the main image you see on the Fandom main page didn't show up and the images are still not showing up.

heavy frost Jan 31, 2025, 10:51 AM

#

Please change [[File:Site-community-image|center|1000px]]
You forgot the .png or .jpg in the file name 😉

#

@fluid lodge ⬆️

fluid lodge Jan 31, 2025, 10:58 AM

#

Oh I'm sorry. My bad. Just checked Fandom and it came like that.

EDIT: ~~Well, others images are still not showing up.~~

Scratch that out. Now they're showing up and it looks great! I guess I gotta adjust the templates just a tad bit but otherwise, looking great! Thanks y'all.

I've always preferred this option over Fandom but I wasn't aware of it at the time I originally created FMH but considering Miraheze has wikipedia looks that Fandom does not, that's why I wanted it transfered over. I may have another one in mind to transfer in the future but I'm not there just yet.

heavy frost Jan 31, 2025, 11:41 AM

#

fluid lodge Oh I'm sorry. My bad. Just checked Fandom and it came like that. EDIT: ~~Well, ...

Well you know how to find us 😉
Glad it worked out.

zenith flare Jan 31, 2025, 12:16 PM

#

@fluid lodge images are fixed

#

They should have been working since about 2.5 hours ago

#

There was an issue with swift

#

I was in a work meeting so couldn't pass on the fixed message

heavy frost Jan 31, 2025, 2:04 PM

#

zenith flare I was in a work meeting so couldn't pass on the fixed message

It was solved. He had forgotten the .png in the file 😉

zenith flare Jan 31, 2025, 4:26 PM

#

heavy frost It was solved. He had forgotten the .png in the file 😉

No it wasn't

#

That was not the issue affecting most of their files

#

It was solved by fixing the fact that some of the swift setup didn't create properly

#

He even said other images weren't showing up originally (before crossing it out cause it got fixed)

fluid lodge Jan 31, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

heavy frost Please change `[[File:Site-community-image|center|1000px]]` You forgot the .png ...

It was transferred like that, despite the image showing up on Fandom. That's why I was like... huh?

Even as of now, the image on the main page still hasn't shown up.

dense wadi Jan 31, 2025, 7:37 PM

#

zenith flare Jan 31, 2025, 7:52 PM

#

I suspect that was one of the 3 files that didn't transfer

#

All files other than 3 from Fandom should be fine @fluid lodge @dense wadi

#

You will need to find out which 3 didn't transfer by comparing Special:ListFiles

#

https://fantasymediahub.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:WantedFiles only includes the one

Fantasy Media Hub

Special:WantedFiles

#

So possible the other 2 weren't used
