Forum:Wiki XML backup

Hello everyone,

I'm currently developping a smartphone Yu-Gi-Oh! app. For it I needed a complete list of the cards, as up to date as possible and in the eight languages supported by Konami. To build that database I built a program that gets data from the official database and other sources such as this wiki. Thanks to my program I could find a few cards which had a wrong passcode on the wiki, which I fixed.

However, I'm using the wiki dumps accessible from https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Statistics. These were last updated in May, which means that all the edits since then, including my fixes, are not in the data I'm using. Requesting an update to this dump can only be done by an admin of the wiki, as mentioned here: https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Database_download.

Would it be possible for an administrator to request a new database dump? This would help me a lot!

BTW, I'm planning on extending the checks I did on the passcodes to other information such as card titles and lores in multiple languages, link arrows, and basically any numerical information. Depending on the number of errors I find, I will either fix them myself or publish the list on the forum if I need help!

Thank you in advance!
