Migration Procedure
Migration Procedure
Phase 1:
Make sure all pages on the calontiri wikispace have been successfully migrated to this new wiki. I'm just worrying about text content at this point. Broken images and Categories will be dealt with in Phase 2.
- Open:
- http://calontiri.wikispaces.com/People and/or
- http://calontiri.wikispaces.com/Events on the calontiri wikispace
- (since People and Events are the bulk of the pages on the old wikispace).
- Cross-reference with:
- "Uncategorized Pages" and
- Category:Pages with broken file links
- Since that's where the majority of the pages are conveniently listed
- Open the migrated page on the new wiki to make sure it isn't just a blank page.
- See below: Pages that didn't migrate successfully for for more details on how to move pages.
Phase 2:
Make sure the new pages are pretty.
- Check on:
- "Uncategorized Pages", Need Work and
- Category:Pages with broken file links
- Since where the pages with problems are conveniently listed
- For reference, open on the old wiki:
- http://calontiri.wikispaces.com/People and/or
- http://calontiri.wikispaces.com/Events on the calontiri wikispace
- (since People and Events are the bulk of the pages on the old wikispace).
- Fix formatting problems, mostly commonly damaged:
- Bullet lists (* code or use bullet icon on VisualEditor Bar), and
- italics (' ' code or Ctrl-I or under A on VisualEditor Bar)
- Make sure images are okay (if not, see instructions below)
- Add categories to the bottom of the new page - Category:People, Category:Vatavian, Category:Scribe, etc.
- on VisualEditor, the Category tool is found under the stacked triple - icon on the right side between the ? icon and the pencil icon
- Save the changes.
Click on any new categories you just created and make sure their parent categories are correct.
Note that uploading images is restricted to logged-in "members" of the wiki. Contact sofyalarus @ calontiri dot info, or FB Lisa Sofya Kies.
