Forum:Database Dumps

Is there any third-party way to dump the database that includes images and non-content pages? Would this be allowed if such a way existed?


 * There are no third party ways to get a database dump on Wikia (quickly), however it would be possible to produce your own if you download each image and ever page. I can guarantee, however, that the resulting file will be incredibly large - that's why the current dumps don't include that in the first place.


 * Last time I checked, the database dump does include non-content pages. I just double-checked a database dump, I specifically looked for pages from the user and file namespaces, but haven't verified the rest. If you tell me which non-content pages you're talking about, I can check for those too.
 * Special:ListFiles lists all images, you may find it useful. -452 16:55, November 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Dumps include all namespaces. Back then, Wowpedia used some tool to migrate files and other stuff, research that.--PedroM 18:41, November 17, 2012 (UTC)
