===How can I download a copy of the site?===

~~Full exports of this wiki including all pages, discussion, files and images will be available soon. They are importable MediaWiki dumps, which means you can use them to run a functioning copy of~~ the ~~site, convert them to other formats, or use the data~~ for ~~something else~~.

See the [[Backups]] page for information.

~~For instructions on importing these into your own MediaWiki installation~~, ~~see [https://www~~.~~mediawiki~~.~~org/~~wiki~~/Manual:Importing_XML_dumps Manual:Importing_XML_dumps]~~.

===I can't log in anymore!===

Unfortunately there is no way to migrate the users over from old wiki. If you haven't done so already, please create a new account at the new wiki.

===Where are the discussion pages?===

There should be a tab at the top of each page labeled "Discussion". The discussion from the old wiki has been migrated here.

~~You can also download~~ a [https://~~archive~~.org/~~details~~/~~xenwikiultimatebackup backup of the old Wikispaces wiki on archive.org~~].

These "Talk pages" are a convention that Wikipedia (the same folks behind MediaWiki) uses, and they behave like wiki pages. Have a look at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Talk_pages Wikipedia page] for more information regarding usage.

~~===I can~~'~~t log in anymore!===~~

If you notice any missing pages, please notify one of us, and we will work to restore it.

Don't worry, all pages have been backed up! There may simply be a missing redirect, or something else.

~~===Why is this link missing? Why is this link red?===~~

~~Unfortunately there is no way to migrate the page redirects from the old wiki. This means that a lot of links ended up going nowhere, though the target page probably does still exist.~~

~~Please feel free to search for the correct page yourself, and create the link.~~
