Forum:Data Dump?

On normal wiki projects on average of every week MediaWiki gives a full site Data Dump accessable via http://download.wikimedia.org as a backup.

Wikimedia projects are not listed there nor is wikia, I've searched all of Wikia and I can't find any way to access a full XML dump of a project.

The reason for the need of a XML Dump is that I've been using a bot to cleanup certain things arround my wiki. I'm planning on fixing a age old writing error (On our wiki we write dates as  but sometimes people write them as   causing a link to a useless page) but to do that the bot program I'm using needs the XML Data dump of the site because it can't just go and search through every page on the site, that would cause to much server strain to do that each time I want it to fix something on the site. dantman 12:10, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
