You might want to add this to the Archive. It is Donkey Kong Country GBA's official European site: http://www.mediafire.com/download/y3ydjsg259a3rw3. For more backups (mainly the file contents), check out my other archives here: http://www.dkc-atlas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1861. We just have to be careful, for sites like NoE's are susceptible to shutting down.

I hope I helped the Archive Team! :) Archive Maniac 11:17, 12 February 2014 (EST)

Excuse me, but do you know how I could manually run the Warrior's python scripts? It seems that items download a lot faster with it. Could you please teach me? I also do need help on how to upload the downloaded wikis with "uploader.py". If you could help me with these two problems, I'd much appreciate it. Thanks.

I have an idea. How's about we can contribute sites to the Archive Team, whether or not it has been shut down. That way, we have a backup. Also, the best way to back up your files is via (re)writable DVDs and/or CDs. Also, how do you submit your collections to Archive Team? Archive Maniac 14:56, 18 March 2014 (EDT)

Suggestion: Allowing People to Submit Sites to the Archiveteam

I have a suggestion: why don't we allow users to submit sites to the ArchiveTeam on the Internet Archive (archive.org). I have already done an example site here: https://archive.org/details/site-wwwangelfirecomazdixieden. Just like WikiTeam uses "dumpgenerator.py", I think that users should use wget for downloading websites. Beginners could use HTTrack if they desire.

I have also set some conventional rules, based on those of the WikiTeam's:

  1. The collection's title should have a page title following this format: "Website - SITENAMEGOESHERE".
  2. The URL identifier should have this format: "site-SITEURLGOESHERE". I believe it should exclude the site URL's periods and "http://" from the title, but I think "www" should be kept, as some have it in their URLs, while others don't (e.g. if a site's name is http://www.nintendo.co.jp, it should have an identifier of "site-wwwnintendocojp".
  3. Users should enter the keywords "archiveteam" and "web" (maybe the ArchiveTeam can create a website submission collection with its own keyword).
  4. Users should compress the folder the site was downloaded in as a 7z file. It should be named in this format: SITENAMENOPERIODS-YYYYMMDD.

I hope you like this idea. :) Archive Maniac 14:05, 12 April 2014 (EDT)

I can't seem to use the ArchiveBot. I don't have the necessary permissions... And how do I upload sites to the Internet Archive? Do I do it a different way or the same way? :/ Archive Maniac 21:31, 13 April 2014 (EDT)

Question

Hello, I see you're quite active, especially in the FAQ. I've put a question on Talk:WikiTeam#Non-free wikis about copyright and archiving, but it seems no one is going to answer. I know the discussion goes mainly on IRC, but I think it's an important question with possible public interest, maybe it could be mentioned in the FAQ too. If you may find this, have the time and competence, I would be grateful if you answered (unless someone else does that before). Thank you. bzc6p (talk) 04:57, 8 July 2014 (EDT)
