List of wiki backups

This is a list of wiki sites by database backup status; specifically, those wiki sites listed in category: All which have had their entire content database preserved in a downloadable backup file, or 'dump'. The sortable table below includes wiki sites, powered by any type of wiki engine, specifically listed in category: Wiki database backup. It will display the top 500 wiki sites, with additional 'further results' available from the wikilink at the foot of the table.

If you want to backup a MediaWiki wiki, you can use the GitHub-hosted WikiTeam3 wikiteam3dumpgenerator from Save the Web Project's Python 3 re-write of WikiTeam tools from the Archive Team (AT). Full instructions are at the Save the Web Project's WikiTeam3 GitHub repository. For MediaWiki-powered sites, see the backing up a wiki manual and Manual: dumpBackup.php at the MediaWiki.org wiki site.

All wiki sites hosted on the Wikia (now branded as Fandom) wiki farm have the potential to be automatically backed up; their wiki site specific files and backup date may be found at the bottom of their relevant Special:Statistics page. However, in reality, only a very small proportion of the 200,000-odd Wikia / Fandom wiki sites are automatically backed up; these are indicated by live URLs for their backup files being displayed as a date and time-stamp. Those Wikia / Fandom wiki sites which have not been backed up simply display 'unknown' for their dummy URL placeholders.

In respect of the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), every individual wiki site, from every WMF Project is systematically automatically backed up via an automated dynamic schedule. Due to the prompt frequency of backup operations, it is impossible for us here at WikiIndex to log their specific date of backup. Their individual backup files are all located at https://dumps.wikimedia.org; they can be viewed by a live index, or sorted alphabetically by wiki. There are also a small number of independent XML mirror hosts, though typically, they only make available the last five dumps.

For Uncyclomedia Foundation wiki sites, they have a similar arrangement of semi-automated dynamic backups as the WMF; their backup files can be found at https://download.uncyc.org.
