Hi,
About a month ago I transferred from a Wikia wiki
(
health-and-medicine.wikia.com) to a local wiki and much of what I did
was I went to Special:Export on Wikia, entered major categories and
exported all pages belonging to these categories and then went to
Special:Import on my local wiki to import the XML files the Wikia export
had generated (XML dumps weren't a viable option as Special:Import
couldn't handle the massive file generated from the dumps). This Wikia
wiki has several hundred pictures that I still need to upload to my
local wiki and I was wondering if there was a Pywiki script that could
do this job for me, or at least do it for files that are linked in the
pages I have so far imported (i.e., files mentioned in broken file
links). I have user_config.py already setup for working with these two
wikis (i.e., content:
|# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-|||
|||family = 'local'|||
|||mylang = 'en'|||
|||usernames['hmwiki']['hmwiki'] = u'MyFirstBot'|||
|||usernames['local']['en'] = u'MyFirstBot'|
where hmwiki has been defined via generate_family_file.py) if you're
wondering.
I am a noob when it comes to python and Pywikibot so if you have an
answer I'd appreciate it if you could boil it down into simple lines of
code to run in the command prompt (I'm on 64 bit Windows 7 SP1).
Thanks for your time,
Brenton
