All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part V

[robkelk]

I have some horrible news to report: Orain has been epically compromised, as in, raped to an absurd degree.

We were compromised at the server level, and all databases have been wiped. As in  sudo rm -rfed level wiped.

That includes ATT.

The GOOD news is that we have database backups from at least June 15th 2015, but all of Orain is utterly hosed.
...

I really, really hope three's something of the freebie wiki in there - because the Wayback Machine has only one page from my wiki.

If not, then over 2000 pages of content have disappeared.

Fuck.

There should be a backup by the WikiTeam, don't know how recent.

You can also trying scraping page sources off of the Wayback Machine.

Go here, set up an account, get your wiki created, and you can import the dump:

http://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Miraheze

Already did the Wayback Machine scrape - one page.

Just finished the Google Cache scrape - 30 pages, including the About page.

I hope the other 2,177 pages are in the dump... Some of the pages can be rebuilt from data the editors have elsewhere, but not all.

EDIT: archive.is had four pages from my wiki, all from March - the main page (newer at Google), the About page (newer at Google), the statistics page, and the Recent Changes page (fat lot of good those two will do). I'm still getting timeouts at miraheze

RE-EDIT: Yahoo scrape only had stuff Google had newer copies of.
