Line 6:
:I strongly agree. We should at the very least allow single revision per page dumps to be publicly available on a monthly basis. I would recommend though that this be bumped up to a weekly basis, since it would result in less loss of progress should wikis be required to use them for backup.
:I could also possibly look into creating an extension that would allow bureaucrats to export XML dumps of wiki content on request, possibly with a configurable cap on how often they can do so, to limit server use. This way, bureaucrats would be able to create backups after major editing activity, but there would still be a cap on how often the dump script would be run.

::I do support wiki dumps, but I think the frequency of their production should depend on the activity level of a wiki. For example, Wiki A that has 100 edits/day should have dumps made available weekly, vs Wiki B that has about 5 edits/week should get a dump produced every month. Because quite honestly, Wiki A would suffer much more damage from a monthly dump than Wiki B. Wiki B could probably just live without whatever was produced since the last dump, or easily redo whatever was lost, whereas Wiki A would lose a significant amount of data with a monthly dump. Wiki B wouldn't need the weekly dump because there really wouldn't be that much to be gained from such a short interval of time. I do like the idea of an extension, although it would need to be 100% secure, which requires lots and lots of testing. -- <font color="blue"><b>[[User:Joe G|Joe G.]]</b></font> ([[User_talk:Joe G|Talk]]) 02:11, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
