Help:Database download

A good reason to use Wikia is that databases of all Wikia text are available for download. Please see the copyrights page on the relevant wiki for the terms under which this content may be used.

The database is available as an XML dump (this does not include private user data) which can be stored if you want an extra backup of your content, or imported into any MediaWiki installation.

To access the download, go to the Special:Statistics page for the wiki.

For example, for the Muppet wiki, you would go to http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Statistics

We aim to regenerate these every week. However, if there is a delay or you need a database copy urgently, you can click the button on the Statistics page to request a faster update.

The last update times mentioned on the page will attempt to honor your user preferences to timezone and datetime formatting. If you are not logged in, the timezone displayed will be UTC.

Backups
Backups of all Wikia databases are made regularly on multiple servers.
