I'm pretty sure there's a rule about copy-pasting other wiki's articles into this website. Sorry. TeenageWasteland (talk) 17:55, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm the only author of the article, so copyright is not a problem. Is there any other guidelines I need to know? --TimSC (talk) 17:56, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Linked to in the template above. Also, the second copy-pasta you just inserted is full of red links to articles we don't have and templates we don't use. Please fix? TeenageWasteland (talk) 17:59, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

I am working on it. I don't have permission to add templates. Feel free to fix it yourself. I was not clear before, what specific rule are you concerned about regarding copy-pasting? --TimSC (talk) 18:02, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

IC Wiki

Can't seem to access it. @FuzzyCatPotato @David Gerard @Christopher @Spud @Bongolian @Kazitor @Nerd @Boredatwork @Bigs @RoninMacbeth @Quantheory @Bob M @Smerdis of Tlön ^t 08:59, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Me neither. I don't know what you expect anyone to do about it. Spud (talk) 10:39, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

What has become of last year's discussion? Is merger still possible? ^t 12:48, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

It hit a snag. i don't think it's going to happen now. Spud (talk) 12:55, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Can the techs make use of Special:Import or some sort of magic wiki-fu that neophytes like me shouldn't be trusted to have access to? ^t 13:06, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

@Kazitor Archive.org has a copy. Maybe a python web scraper? Change the HTML to wiki markup? —ClickerClock_{💾 talk.txt} 13:43, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

@ClickerClock Sounds painful, not sure if I have time for that (and archive.org is always so slow). But it seems TimSC has a copy of it anyway? —Kazitor 21:57, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

I dumped the original site using the ArchiveTeam tools. Results are here but I've not actually used this dump to reconstruct the wiki: I used an SQL dump. The IC wiki was read only since before that date, so it is a current dump of the site. --TimSC (talk) 22:11, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

I just grabbed my own copy, just in case. —Kazitor 08:54, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

The original founders don't have time to administer it and they seem unwilling to transfer the domain to me. I've decided to fork it to https://religions.wiki/ --TimSC (talk) 19:31, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Nice, now set up Special:Export, so we can easily export the pages to RW. —ClickerClock_{💾 talk.txt} 07:35, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your work, @TimSC. Do you prefer to maintain the content (perhaps as read-only) at religions.wiki or attempt to merge it over here? FuzzyCatPotato of the Petrifying Lumbers (talk/stalk) 07:41, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

I don't know where I'll spend my time yet. The original wiki was not properly indexed on google with only a few pages appearing, religions.wiki seems better in this regard.--TimSC (talk) 08:33, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
