	The ~~first and preferred~~ method is to setup your server to act as a "cache" repository for [http://www.squid-cache.org/ Squid]. This allows ''Battlestar Wiki'' to still maintain the database for future edits, but allows you to host "cached" versions of the wiki for people to access. For how this works, please read [http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ConfiguringSquid#head-c8f9e2188c26b980b3c9553ab8f3bc818b4fa417 here] on the [http://www.squid-cache.org/ Squid Wiki].

This page covers other sites that [[Wikipedia:Mirror (computing)\|mirror]] the content of ''Battlestar Wiki''. Mirror can be done in one or two ways.

	== ~~Summary~~ ==		== Squid Method ==

	~~Due~~ to the ~~growth~~ of the wiki, ~~we are requesting that sites who link directly to~~ the ~~Battlestar~~ Wiki~~'s articles and images link to one of our off site mirrors instead~~. ~~This page will list how to go about~~ setting up ~~a mirror, as well as how to link to one~~.		The first and preferred method is to setup your server to act as a "cache" repository for [http://www.squid-cache.org/ Squid]. This allows ''Battlestar Wiki'' to still maintain the database for future edits, but allows you to host "cached" versions of the wiki for people to access. For how this works, please read [http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ConfiguringSquid#head-c8f9e2188c26b980b3c9553ab8f3bc818b4fa417 here] on the [http://www.squid-cache.org/ Squid Wiki]. Please contact [[User:Shane\|Shane]] for setting this up.

	== ~~Mirroring the Wiki~~ ==		== Basic Server Requirements ==

	~~Due~~ to ~~bandwidth concerns,~~ the ~~MySQL dump of the articles in the database as well as any media files are not available for anyone to download~~. ~~In order~~ to ~~be an official mirror of the wiki, you must get into contact directly with Joe Beaudoin, who will provide the FTP account~~.		Most servers need to be powerful enough to handle the load we take on. For this you need to at least achieve these parameters.

	~~== What is mirrored? What is not? ==~~		* Dedicated Machine
			** You need ''root'' access to install squid and run it.
	The optimal mirror only contain copies of articles and items in the "Battlestar Wiki" and "Category" namespaces. They also contain any media, notability images, as well as the image description pages.		* Dedicated IP Address with qualified domain name
			* ''root'' access to the entire server
	~~Anything else will not be mirrored on the official mirrors. Also mirrors are~~ ''~~'not editable'~~''.		* P4 2.0GHz+ CPU
			* 256mb of RAM
	~~=== Dates of Article and Media Dumps ===~~		* At least 10gb of Space

	~~"Dumps" of the database and of any media linked in the articles are done on '''Mondays''~~' ~~and~~ '''~~Thursdays'''. These days were chosen as the most optimal time~~ to ~~make backups for the site because most edits are made on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays -- due to the fact that episodes air (in the United States) on Friday night/Saturday morning.~~

	~~== What software and other requirements will I need? ==~~

	~~In order to properly mirror Battlestar Wiki, you will need:~~

	* [http://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki]

	~~For~~ the server ~~(which should have a UNIX (or Linux) based operating system), you will need:~~

	* ~~[http://www~~.~~mysql.org MySQL] (for the database)~~
	* ~~[http://www.apache.org Apache] (web server software; Microsoft's IIS will not function as well with MediaWiki software)~~
	* ~~[http://www.php.net PHP] (to generate the MediaWiki pages properly)~~

	~~Recommended (but not necessary) software includes:~~

	* [http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net PHPMyAdmin] (web-based software that manages the MySQL database)
