| 16:32:22 | <wiki_guy> | hello!! sadly i mantain a url shortener for a kinda big mediawiki project and we have 10k+ urls. i have exported CSV backups to archive.org and in the past others have helped me create a "beacon file" but i don't know what it is or how to recreate it. what's the best way to preserve the links i have? is a csv enough ("id, url")? |
| 16:33:28 | <wiki_guy> | its s.wikicharlie.cl by the way, already on the urlteam wiki page. ive been keeping it online for like two years now. feel free to highlight me for ideas or whatevers |
| 16:46:54 | <TheTechRobo> | wiki_guy: I think that's a fine way to do it, although someone more knowledgeable than me might have some more guidance. |

| 20:23:19 | <@JAA> | wiki_guy: Yeah, a CSV is fine. BEACON is similar but uses vertical bars as separators. |
| 20:23:41 | <@JAA> | There's also a header, and some special processing is needed if your targets contain vertical bars. |
| 20:23:47 | <@JAA> | Full spec is here: https://gbv.github.io/beaconspec/beacon.html |
| 20:25:50 | <@JAA> | If a service is shutting down, we can also do a complete archive as WARC so it is all available in the Wayback Machine afterwards. For that, we'd just need the short URL format and either a list of shortcodes or (if they're sequential) the alphabet and upper bound. We'd then retrieve each shortcode once from our side; this isn't something you can do because uploading into the WBM is restricted. |

| 22:31:22 | <wiki_guy> | thanks guys, i'll do a csv and wait until wayback machine is back online. |
| 22:31:37 | <wiki_guy> | for the warc, do i run it and you upload it? or do i just provide a full list of short urls and you can create it? |
| 22:33:31 | <@JAA> | The latter |
| 23:13:57 | <wiki_guy> | well that was a pain. i removed 1434 links that were obviously spam, sql injection attempts or just phishing forms |
| 23:14:05 | <wiki_guy> | i don't like running a url shortener |

| 23:34:50 | <wiki_guy> | https://s.wikicharlie.cl/database/ i've set up a page to store the dumps. ranges go from 1 to 12999 ("1" to "3nF"), sequentially, using the 0-9a-zA-Z character set. |
| 23:39:52 | <wiki_guy> | i updated the wiki too but got sent to a moderation queue :D |
| 23:57:52 | <pabs> | wiki_guy: how big is the wiki? we have #wikibot for archiving them btw https://wikicharlie.cl/w/P%A1gina_principal |
