Line 43:
::::: If we are concerned about [[User:Short_Circuit|Short Circuit]] and site stability, probably the right thing to do would be to set up a(some) mirror(s) of the site. I imagine that Short Circuit will be around for many years. But the skills and motivations involved in running a mirror are closely related to the sort of skills needed to keep the site up. And, if there is an emergency or some such, it's always handy to have backups. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 20:24, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
:::: Thanks Thundergnat, Rdm. I'll keep talk pages in mind if I need to reach out. I currently have some projects that involving contributing to / indexing Rosetta Code, and it would be nice to know that there are backups other than archive.org.
:::: Mirrors: I would be happy to contribute a mirror -- although it seems (?) like mirroring options for mediawiki sites in general are quite limited. From what I can tell by taking a quick look around, WP-mirror is foundation-only and potentially out of date, while other notes on what to do seem more like future plans than best practices, like this discussion: bjohas.de/wiki/Mediawiki_mirror. Hosting offsite backups might be the best first step. [[User:Jeremydouglass|Jeremydouglass]] ([[User talk:Jeremydouglass|talk]]) 22:55, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
