2023-08-13 Random generators on wiki pages

I’m about to start rereading the Malazan books by Steven Erikson. In German. The first book has 800 pages.

Here is another one of my many attempts at bringing back a public random tables wiki like Abulafia. Sadly, Abulafia has been broken for years. If by any chance you are the Abulafia person, please let me copy all the tables! 😄 Perhaps I can help, even if all you have is a folder full of files or a borked database.

Internet Archive has some wiki exports in 7z format. A giant XML file containing pages and revisions.

I do not own any of that content.

For future visitors: Here's somebody with instructions on how to bring back Abulafia in in Docker:

"With a lot of luck, I have puzzled out how to stand up a MediaWiki
instance, import a data dump I found on Archive.org, and even hack
the Abulafia Parser plugin to get random generation working again. I
have never understood PHP and don't intend to, so "working on my
machine" is as far as I intend to take this project. If you want to
host this thing publically, go with my blessing!" – Michael Hansen,
