Synth DIY Wiki:Community portal

Welcome! This page is for discussions about the SDIY wiki itself.

To start a new topic: On a new line, enclose the topic title between a pair of double equals signs, e.g == This a new topic ==. Use colons to indent replies and please sign each post with your signature, using four tildes i.e. ~~~~.

A plea for images

The wiki especially lacks informative images to illustrate articles. Please if you can release any useful relevant images under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike licence or into public domain, then upload them to Wikimedia Commons with category Synth DIY and add a notification/link here. Alternately upload them to this wiki or email admin at sdiy dot info. -- Rob Kam (talk) 19:35, 12 September 2014 (BST)

Backing up the wiki without server shell access

All that's needed is an XML (with edit histories) dump and a dump of all images plus their descriptions. To do both run the the WikiTeam Python script dumpgenerator.py from the command-line. Instructions are at the WikiTeam tutorial. --Rob Kam (talk) 11:41, 29 May 2016 (BST)
