How to restore a backup in a new wiki

Supermade 1210934808|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

The summary explains it pretty much. I have read, that there is yet no way to import external wikis. But i guess there should be a simple way just to put back the backed up files of a deleted wiki (I do not own) to a new wiki.

Thank you very much for your help!

Regards,
Supermade

Sorry, no restore and no import exist, yet.

Another issue:
if you have deleted a whole site - there is a undo possible!

And than the owner(founder) of the site can rename it to another URL ADRESS !

This is the text you will get in the site manager under extreme action - delete:

---

Delete the whole Site
Yes, you can delete the whole Site. However even if you delete it, it will not be wiped out from our database but rather you will be able to undo the operation.

This action is available only to the person who actually started the Site (the founder).

We highly discourage anyone from deleting a website at Wikidot especially if:

your site is publicly recognizable and potentially useful,
is a collaborative work by several authors,
there are other reasons that might make you miss your wiki.
You might also consider hiding the site from public by making it private;

If you really really have a good reason to delete this wiki, click the button below:

I forgot to mention - that the undo ( restore) of a deleted wiki is only working with a 3 digit number - than you can rename it…
