ED's Restoration 2020 organizing thread

Idk, I just thought we should have a thread to organize the wiki restoration campaign.

So as it stands, most of the images up to mid-2017 were backed up by an unknown third party (I think by ArchiveTeam maybe?). I am told the 2017 images backup is what we had sourced from. - But there's some kind of issue with the files/images that 1) the filenames end in ALL-CAPS FILE EXTENSIONS (".PNG", ". JPG", etc - as opposed to ".png", ".jpg", etc) and 2) the files with spaces/spacebar-characters in their filenames - where neither of these types re-uploaded correctly when the site was resureccted again.
So they need to be re-uploaded, those files.
If interested the download page for the 2017 images backup is here : https://archive.org/details/encyclopediadramatica-20170616


As for articles, post-2017 - a lot are missing but ARE on Wayback and Archive.is backups and those articles need restored.



Keep in mind for images, if you upload thumbnails - MAKE SURE that you go back to the file page and edit the page to add "{{FullImageWanted}}" - and if you're lazy at typing {{thumb}} also works"...

did aediot take away image uploading perms from everyone or am i just retarded? i cant find the image upload page again
 
the closer you are to restoring the wiki the more likely you are to lose more content the next time it goes under. leave the wiki full of broken links and never worry again
