Forum:Is there a way to be able to use your own site and hosting for a wikia wiki?

Is there a way to get the files of wikia which you can upload then install it to my site? I wish there was, it would be better then a subdomain (to me)

 * There are tons of free image hosting sites, why would you want to post it on wikia for the purpose of dropping it at your own site? http://bit.ly/oV591g




 * I'm asking if there is a zip file of wikia so I can have my wiki on my site on my host - Teratorn99 16:50, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * You can request a database dump in Special:Statistics, but it doesn't contain files. If I recall correctly there was an alternative, user-created script that allowed you to download files as well, but I can't remember who wrote it or where to find it. — Sovq 17:00, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you want just the contents of a wiki for offline browsing or the contents of the wiki and the Wikia wiki engine to run on your own machine? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 7 Oct 2011 1:55 PM Pacific


 * Sovq probably means Pcj and his crew, who managed to get their images when they moved WoWwiki to WoWpedia. -- 13:43, October 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * There is a way, use this: http://absurdopedia net/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Edward_Chernenko/MediaWikiDumper
 * Ah... Looks like wikia has... How should I say this... Made changes so we cannot link to this tool. So let's see how many tries I will need to get the link here...
 * I know for certain that you can download MediaWiki and run it wherever you want (that's the one Wikipedia uses, and what Wikia's is based on). Manga (talk &bull; contribs) 20:57, October 10, 2011 (UTC)
