Migrating to WikiTide

Welcome to WikiTide, we're happy to see you here.

Migrating a wiki to WikiTide is simple. It doesn't matter where the wiki is hosted. If you have a database dump of the wiki, moving your wiki should be easy.

Exporting a wiki
The first step to moving your wiki to WikiTide is to generate a XML dump (also called a database dump) of your wiki. It will contain all the pages and their revisions. They'll include the description of files, but not the files themselves. The way you'll do this will depend on your wiki.

Moving from Fandom
Fandom provides a database dump of your wiki at in your wiki. The dump isn't generated every day so it may be outdated. If it is, a wiki administrator can press the "Request an update" button. If the wiki has no active administrators, you'll have to ask Fandom Staff to update it for you. Once you've downloaded the dump, go to the "Importing a wiki" section.

Note: Fandom doesn't allow you to close your wiki except in some circumstances like small wikis, mass deletion of pages, or linking to external wikis on the main page. They only allow linking to a public post on the main page. After 2 weeks, it should be removed.

Images
Fandom's Terms of Services disallows the automatic downloading of images, but downloading them manually is still allowed. WikiTide volunteers won't help you out with manually downloading them. The images aren't provided in the XML dumps. You may have more rights due to the GDPR Article 20 of the EU for the wikis that you uploaded, due to it being associated with your account.
