==Introduction==
===Full XML Dump===


The Bibliotheca Anonoma has selected the Puella Magi Wiki for monthly archival to protect it's high quality content.  
The Full XML dump contains all the contents of the wiki (including all revisions), but none of the user information. The dump is '''update every midnight (UTC)'''. A timestamp file is provided as a way to do a small request to determine if the file was updated. Please check <code>HEAD</code> request and check <code>Last-Modified-At</code> the header before downloading.


The internet is vastly resilient, built to withstand censorship and even the worst nuclear holocausts. But in the spur of the moment, few have bothered to save the data that made the internet worth fighting for in the first place. The fall of Wikichan and Encyclopedia Dramatica, two wikis filled with valuable content thoughtlessly lost, sent me into action

==Making Dumps==
The image dump is currently very large due to thumbnails (70 GB+). Please contact [[User:0x99]] for an image dump for the time being.


We currently use the Wikiteam [http://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/wiki/NewTutorial dumpgenerator python script] to create dumps.

Commands used for generating dumps are below:
===4chan Threads===


  python dumpgenerator.py --api=http://wiki.puella-magi.net/api.php --xml --images # Generates full dump using Mediawiki API

When creating dump archives, it is strongly recommended to use 7zip for the highest compression rates.
Puella Magi Wiki has its root from Madoka Threads on 4chan. These threads are currently archived externally.
