The wiki has now been deleted. All content is archived and freely reusable at Github. The domain name will redirect to Github for some time. From now on, I will be working on sharing more datasets about the British Civil Wars that were never imported to the wiki. I will post about them here as they appear on Github.

As part of the process of decommissioning By The Sword Linked, I’ve shared at Github the python scripts that I used to generate batches of pages to import to the wiki, along with documentation and some example data. The process involves creating structured data as delimited text files, which you can do with a spreadsheet, Open Refine, a custom script of your own, or any other method. The python scripts provided can turn these files into wikitext XML, which can be imported into MediaWiki. This is a more efficient way of creating large numbers of wiki pages than doing it manually or using a bot. The scripts were designed for By The Sword Linked but could be used for other wikis with few or no changes.
