Is there any way to make an XML backup/export of an entire wiki? Wikia has XML backups/exports under the Special:Statistics page, but Shoutwiki wikis don't seem to have any. While Special:Export exists, it only exports pages within categories, and not the entire wiki as a whole.

Will the option be added later, if there's no other way to make backups atm? :( I dunno, I kinda worry about this site closing down sometimes, so I wanted to ask. Hitoshura (talk) 02:03, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

I backup only a few pages on my wiki. Via Special:Export (use link on your wiki). I don't want to overload the servers. I add [[Category:Export]] as a hidden category to a few pages. Then I export that category. --Timeshifter (talk) 05:27, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
Ah, okay! Thank you for the help! :) I'll keep that in mind! Hitoshura (talk) 07:03, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
