Help:Migrating to WikiTide

WikiTide has established a set of simple-to-follow procedures for migrating wikis previously self-hosted or hosted on other MediaWiki hosts such as Fandom and Miraheze. After successfully requesting a wiki, you can follow the steps below to migrate your data to WikiTide.

Generate database dumps of your wiki
Text-based content pages can be exported all at once into an XML file, which can be later imported into your WikiTide wiki. This XML dump file will contain all text-based pages in all namespaces, including templates, user pages, media descriptions and other content model pages provided by extensions (most notably Lua module pages provided by mw:Extension:Scribunto and CSS template subpages provided by mw:Extension:TemplateStyles), but does not include media files nor configurations. The methods for obtaining XML dumps vary between MediaWiki hosts.

Migrating from Fandom
Official Fandom documentation: https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Database_download The XML dump of your Fandom wiki can be found at the bottom of the wiki's Special:Statistics page. While Fandom generates a backup dump weekly, the XML dump available on the Special:Statistics page does not appear to be automatically updated. If the dumps appear to be outdated or "unknown", wiki administrators can request an updated dump with the "request an update" button. For wikis without active administrators, create a support ticket through Fandom's support system and request an updated dump be generated for you.

Fandom's Terms of Use disallows users from using robot scripts to scrape content from their wikis. You may manually download each and every media file and provide them to us for mass import, but we cannot provide assistance in doing so.
