Content Migration

I understand you're pulling a lot of the old pages that weren't moved from the old site. However I have to ask you to please not copy over all of the talk pages. There a few reasons why we decided not to bring them over automatically. Many of those pages are quite old and some of them now include old, inaccurate administrative comments.

Please feel free to pull over your own talk pages, but not ones that you're not associated with. If those users want those pages to be brought over, let them do it on their own.

If you have a large number of content pages that need to be migrated please leave a list of them on the talk page for the wiki bot User:Black Stig\Black Stig. They can be added to a process to move them over automatically and it won't fill up the recent changes log. - Ransim 16:51, 18 October 2010 (CDT)

--- Ok, I understand. Just trying to help out. I'll stop reposting the talk pages. Is it ok to help out by resizing images and reposting those where they appear to be broken? I'm doing my best to only repost pages or resize/repost art that is clearly missing or broken and -not- modify or edit anything in the process. Logand

Please by all means if you want to do the images go right ahead! I put some thought into how to automate the process of trying to resize the 2000+ images that were over 150 KB. Unfortunately it went a bit to the back burner while I try to work on tuning the server and getting ready to migrate UnionVerse this weekend.

There are some tools out there for doing some batch photo resizing, if I can find time I may be able to run the ones that weren't migrated through that tool then do an auto import on them. But sadly right now this is a one man show the Admin is on a hiatus so its just me. If you want to see a list of images referenced in pages but that don't exist check out Special:WantedFiles. - Ransim 17:05, 18 October 2010 (CDT)
