| 16:18:47 | <Webuser110002> | Hi! May I request to archive a mediawiki site that will very possibly be deleted? |
| 16:19:52 | <Webuser110002> | They disabled Special:Export and they add random additional text if you use mw api to export multiple revisions, so I guess you professionals may have some ideas |
| 16:23:26 | <justauser> | Uhh... |
| 16:23:36 | <justauser> | Give the link and we'll see. |
| 16:23:48 | <Webuser110002> | The wiki is at https://library.moegirl.org.cn |
| 16:24:08 | <Webuser110002> | API is https://library.moegirl.org.cn/api.php |
| 16:26:43 | <Webuser110002> | I noticed you also have experience archiving another wiki hosted by them: https://archive.org/details/wiki-zhmoegirlorg |
| 16:26:51 | <justauser> | API export doesn't work at all for me. |
| 16:28:10 | <Webuser110002> | It doesn't work for me either. I heard only logged in account with a verified phone number can use the API, tho it may adds random text |
| 16:29:24 | <justauser> | I can start an ArchiveBot job to grab the rendered pages... |
| 16:30:18 | <Webuser110002> | Oh so it might be impossible or hard to archive the site properly in XML as a wiki? |
| 16:31:19 | <justauser> | From the first look, it's impossible without an account. |
| 16:31:56 | <justauser> | They even broke the action=edit pages. |
| 16:32:25 | <justauser> | As well as history. |
| 16:33:26 | <Webuser110002> | Exactly. But I found diff is usable without an account: https://library.moegirl.org.cn/index.php?diff=30653 |
| 16:33:51 | <Webuser110002> | Although action=edit still fails |
| 16:34:32 | <justauser> | Started an AB job, will see how it goes. |
| 16:34:45 | <Webuser110002> | Thanks a lot! |
| 16:35:06 | <justauser> | Looks like someone made an XML dump two years ago. |
| 16:35:39 | <justauser> | https://archive.org/details/wiki-library.moegirl.org.cn-20240524 |
| 16:36:14 | <Webuser110002> | Ah exactly! It didn't show up in my search result |
| 16:36:40 | <Webuser110002> | I think that's also very valuable. Thank you! |
| 16:36:40 | <justauser> | Our search template is https://archive.org/search?query=originalurl%3A%28*moegirl.org.cn*%29 . |
| 16:37:03 | <justauser> | Still imperfect, but works better than just typing the name into search bar. |
| 16:37:29 | <justauser> | This was done by a third party - possibly a user with an account. |
| 16:38:14 | <justauser> | AB hit some heavy ratelimits :/ |
| 16:40:33 | <Webuser110002> | Their recent edits show that they're marking certain pages as 'already moved to zh.moegirl.org.cn', but they simply copy and paste without credits, and I think this suggests they're already planning to close the site after they transferred everything they consider useful. That's why I said it might be deleted. |
| 16:41:19 | <Webuser110002> | I think they didn't get very many edits after 2024 so this past archive might be enough for me. Just out of curiosity do you still plan to archive it again if it's getting closed? |
| 16:41:47 | <justauser> | The AB job is running, and a proper XML dump is probably impossible. |
| 16:42:13 | <justauser> | You can watch it at http://archivebot.com/ |
| 16:43:06 | <Webuser110002> | Thank you! |
| 16:44:08 | <justauser> | Looks like all of their wikis are broken in that way. |
| 16:44:32 | <justauser> | If you know someone with an account, there are usage guides for Wikiteam3, but otherwise, that's what we have. |
| 16:48:34 | <justauser> | Extra text in API responses is probably well-formatted. |
| 16:48:53 | <justauser> | If it doesn't outright break Wikiteam3, it can be dumped and then removed later. |
| 16:50:04 | <Webuser110002> | I'll try. Thanks! |

| 16:52:40 | <eggdrop> | [remind] ok, i'll remind you at 2026-10-03T00:00:00Z |
