Not really. It is really simple to export everything from a wiki; you don't even need any special access (though it is possible you've got to be logged in; not too sure there). The export pages page on the CKII Wiki for example.Hmmm... Maybe but then you would be the only person the Wiki relies on... :/
Right, I'll see about buying the victoria2wiki.com domain and setting things up later today or tomorrow.Well I would be open for you to host the Victoria II Wiki if you want to. The Wiki would surely benefit from a more performant Mediawiki than the one we have got and, also, from your know-how. Please let it be named Victoria II Wiki and not Vicky2Wiki as it is already taken...
If you register the url and hit it off, I will strive to export what we have got already on there.
Heh, tried turning off AdBlock on the Victoria 2 wiki; definitely a lot more ads there than on the CKII Wiki and EU4 Wiki. On those I just have a single ad in the sidebar and do what I can to block Flash ads and such (though Google doesn't let me block that entire category outright for some reason).That is great !
Heh, I even run AdBlock on my own wikis, but that's because Google doesn't take kindly to people clicking the ads on their own websites. Single unobtrusive sidebar ad is luckily enough to pay for hosting based on what I've earned since I switched to Adsense after realizing Project Wonderful would never let me break even.I have adblock on Safari for my Mac. I'm always a bit annoyed when I look at Victoria II Wiki on my iPhone without adblock...
Nah. I've got pretty much everything copied over now. The pages themselves were very simple to import, as MediaWiki has tools built in for just that purpose. The files I had to download individually then upload one by one.Will this be a page by page copy-paste sort of thing ?
Wouldn't it be better to redirect it for a while first, so that people find the new wiki?Wow, that IS very efficient Thanks a bunch. I have contacted Shoutwiki so that they delete the older Victoria 2 wiki.
Nice initiative with the tier list. Makes for a much better way of finding missing countries too.+1 Volunteer
May I suggest that Castile/Spain, England/GB, Muscovy/Russia don't have different pages (as with EUIII wiki). They are the same, have the same missions and, at the end of the day, when playing Castile/England/Muscovy the objective is to form Spain/GB/Russia.
So Spain should redirect to Castile and so on (or the other way round).
They're not the same though, as to my knowledge Spain can be formed by Aragon, GB by Scotland, and Russia by any of the Russian nations.May I suggest that Castile/Spain, England/GB, Muscovy/Russia don't have different pages (as with EUIII wiki).
