Forum:Recommend content dumps be made available monthly

Forums: Index &rarr; General discussion


 * I strongly agree. We should at the very least allow single revision per page dumps to be publicly available on a monthly basis.  I would recommend though that this be bumped up to a weekly basis, since it would result in less loss of progress should wikis be required to use them for backup.
 * I could also possibly look into creating an extension that would allow bureaucrats to export XML dumps of wiki content on request, possibly with a configurable cap on how often they can do so, to limit server use. This way, bureaucrats would be able to create backups after major editing activity, but there would still be a cap on how often the dump script would be run.
