The < a href = "/wiki/Dashboard/Import/Online" id = "xolnki_2" title = "Dashboard/Import/Online" > list of data dumps< / a > allows you to download dumps for any wiki with one mouse click. However, there are times when you want to manually import a wiki:
2016-04-17 15:48:03 +00:00
< / p >
< ul >
< li >
You want a dump from a specific time period (EX: 20121220)
< / li >
< li >
You want the dump that has talk pages (EX: pages-meta-current)
< / li >
< li >
You want a dump that doesn't happen to be on the list (EX: none known, but may happen)
< / li >
< li >
You want to customize the process for multiple wikis
< / li >
< li >
You encountered an error, and can not use the automated process.
< / li >
< / ul >

There are currently two ways to do a manual import
< / p >
< ul >
< li >
Manually import the wiki through xowa_build.gfs.
< / li >
< / ul >
< dl >
< dd >

This will offer you the greatest flexibility, but requires some familiarity with a command-line interface. You can read more at < a href = "/wiki/Dev/Command-line" id = "xolnki_3" title = "Dev/Command-line" > Dev/Command-line< / a >
2016-04-17 15:48:03 +00:00
< / dd >
< / dl >
< ul >
< li >
Manually import the wiki through altering the xowa_command
< / li >
< / ul >
< dl >
< dd >
This has less flexibility than the xowa_build.gfs. However, it only requires editing a wiki page, and then clicking the icon
< / dd >
< / dl >

< / h2 >
< p >
To do a manual import using the xowa_command, do the following
< / p >
< ul >
< li >
Click "Edit" in the top right-hand corner
< / li >
< li >
Look at the last lines of this page
< / li >
< li >
Substitute 'simple.wikipedia.org' with your wiki's name
< / li >
< li >
Change the date from 'latest' to whatever date you're interested in (EX: '20121220')
< / li >
< li >
Change 'pages-articles' to 'pages-meta-current' if you want talk pages (Note: they are generally twice the size of the regular wiki)
< / li >
< li >
Save the page
< / li >
< li >
Click "Setup Custom Wiki"
< / li >
