Save Your Wiki

Your pages are yours and you should have them safely saved and backed up on your own computers. This is easy to do. Just grab the export and keep it safe.

This file is an up to date copy of all pages on the origin server. Hover to be sure it is your server. Then click it to start the download. Save as when finished. export.json

You may need to claim your site again and accept (or modify) what ever flag is created for your new site.

If you are moving to a new host then you will want to redirect your domain name to that server. Since sites are always subdomains, this will always be possible but may not be the policy of the owner of the domain you were hosted within.

You will need to run a script that posts each page to the server. Even a modest size site is probably too large to post in a single operation.
