Backing up the wiki

Backing up the wiki without server shell access, requires Python v2 (v3 doesn't yet work).

Run the the WikiTeam Python script dumpgenerator.py from the command-line to get an XML (with edit histories) dump and a dump of all images plus their descriptions. Full instructions are at the WikiTeam tutorial.

python dumpgenerator.py --api=http://www.sdiy.info/w/api.php --xml --images
