Yes, you can upload the MediaWiki database dump (or specific tables from it), and I can help you search and analyze the data. If you want to perform searches, generate summaries, or extract specific content, I can process the database file and assist with queries.
Steps:
- Export the Database
- If you haven't already, export your MediaWiki database as a SQL dump or a structured format like XML or JSON.
- Upload the File
- Use the file upload option here, and I'll process it.
- Specify Your Needs
- Let me know what you're looking for: searching specific pages, extracting content, analyzing trends, etc.
Option 1: Using MySQL Command Line
If you're using MySQL/MariaDB, you can export the database using mysqldump
:
- Find your database name
- It’s usually set in
LocalSettings.php
under$wgDBname
.
- It’s usually set in
- Run the export command Replace
yourwiki
with your actual database name: mysqldump -u root -p yourwiki > yourwiki.sql - If your database is large, compress it: mysqldump -u root -p yourwiki | gzip > yourwiki.sql.gz
Option 2: Using phpMyAdmin
If you have phpMyAdmin access:
- Log in to phpMyAdmin.
- Select your MediaWiki database.
- Click Export → Choose SQL format.
- Click Go to download the file.
Option 3: Using MediaWiki's XML Dump
For page content only (without user data and settings):
- Use the built-in dump generator: php maintenance/dumpBackup.php --full > dump.xml
This exports all pages as an XML file.
Once you export the file (.sql
, .gz
, or .xml
), upload it here, and I’ll help you search and analyze the data.
