		+	Wow, it's been so long since we talked, hasn't it? lol. Anyway, I'm trying to get back into writing on this website so I'm curious: what types of stories and genres did you have in mind for "Tales of Illnora"? I want to try to come back to that in a little while, but not specifically for the dragons...

		+	: Is it just me, or is chyoa full of regular stories just pretending to be "choose your own story"? Story after story begins with only one choice, and then only one choice...
		+	: Also any "choice" is often only at the intro page (and then it dries up after just a few short paragraphs). Basically, it's like five or seven completely separate stories trying to live under the same header. I haven't found anything like Smutty Sex Romp, where you focus on ONE thing (actually two major things, male and female) and then let the story go both deep and wide.
		+	: Also CHYOA appears to support variables which this site does not, at least if you trust the help documents. But I haven't found a single story that plays more like a game (where you can have circular paths, and opening up new choices based on decision made elsewhere).

No luck with the dump generator. But-: new section

		+	== No luck with the dump generator. But- ==
		+
		+	So I gave the dumpgenerator.py my best attempts (though admittedly I have no prior knowledge of Python or webcrawlers) and it seems like the tool won't work with this version of MediaWiki. When I use the /api.php method, my CMD prompt tells me to use an application that won't work with MediaWiki 1.15 (1.16 is the earliest version it supports). And CYOS' index is broken or something (a page called 'index.php' isn't the index), so I couldn't get the index method to work either.
		+
		+	But luckily the [[Special:Export]] function seems to work just fine (editthis.info/wiki/Help:Backing_up_your_wiki). It's not going to be organized the same way a webcrawler would do it, but newer MediaWikis support importing Special:Export dumps (www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Importing_XML_dumps). It's going to be near impossible to move the whole site without shell access (as we'd have to do it 100 articles at a time with only default sysop privileges), but I'm assuming you (or someone else willing to import the files) will have that.
		+
		+	I made XML dumps of Smutty Sex Romp and Rampage as a test for how big we can make each file, and it tops at about 5,000 articles (this is ''including'' all revision history). So rather than moving the whole site in one big XML file, we dump as many stories as we can into each XML and move everything that way.
		+
		+	The easiest way to dump articles, I have found, is to put the name of the category for whatever you're dumping into the category form on Special:Export (so, as a test, try 'Three sisters RM'). It will then generate up to 5,000 ish article names (though for TSR it would stop at the page count) preformatted for the Special:Export function. Stormraven (author of the 'Backing up your wiki article' I linked earlier) recommended using the [[Special:AllPages]] catalogue to dump an entire wiki, but almost every page of it is pedoblocked. So article titles will have to be gleaned via category or some other method for stories longer than 5,000 pages (I've already done this for Smutty Sex Romp).
		+
		+	It's going to suck to be the guy importing all of this, but it seems very possible. If anything this might be better than the dumpgenerator.py-- we can leave behind any undeleted spam or poor articles (I have read through many stubs in the Pit of Abandoned Stories, and most of them don't need to exist on any prospective new site). Also be easier to leave behind stories with too much pedo content to scrub, assuming this (currently hypothetical) new site has a stricter pedo policy than editthis.info.
		+
		+	I hope some of this proves useful! If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. --[[User:Pickles\|Pickles]] 04:18, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

		+	:Hey Durzan! I saw on the General Discussion page that you're trying to make a dump of CYOS. I'm gonna take a stab at it myself if you haven't already figured it out. It's looking like more work than I was expecting (never worked with Python before), but I'll keep on if you haven't managed to dump it yet. I'll let you know as soon as I have the xml.
