Hi,

I'm not in office at weekends. Officially, I'm not working at all, but I sometimes grab a few message wall messages or similar. Partly because it makes Monday lighter, and partly because I'm a wiki addict ;)  Obviously I'm gonna pick the fun, easy ones on my day off. Apologies for not getting to yours!

I would say the drama as a whole, Including your part in it, was what was likely to have caused the drop in morale in the community. And I think that BunsenH, while strong in his opinion, also has been looking for solutions. It sounds like he has thought of something that might help, although I'm not clear on what his solution is. And I'm still sure that my solution could also help, if you were to offer it as a genuine option.

I do not think BunsenH should be removed as a Bureaucrat, he (and I) get an error with the editor he wants to use, of course it is frustrating, but he allowed discussion, and listened to a lot of talk - even if he disagreed with it. I don't see any reason to remove them.

It's possible to use Special:Export and Special:Import to copy articles from one wiki to another - although you can't do the whole wiki at once, the file you are downloading gets too big. You can also do templates this way, but not images, those have to be done separately by hand.

Remember you have to give attribution, Which means you either need to put a template on each page giving credit to the original wiki (unless you are the sole author of the page) or you have to export/import the full history. Of course, doing that means the files are larger and it will take you longer to download them all.

Admins can get a full download of articles and templates (but not images), but we don't upload those back to new wikis on Wikia. So that won't work in this situation.

317 articles is doable though, but I would still suggest you find a different topic if you choose to move on from this one.

[edit] ActuallyI'm talking to BunsenH too, so I'll mention the workaround on their wall
