Wiki Merge
Category wikis ยท Version 5.5
Analyze and clean up a superseded federated-wiki domain โ categorize its pages (boilerplate / duplicate / minimal / unique), move unique content to the successor, trash the rest to a recycler, reindex, and delete the old domain. Activates when consolidating or retiring a wiki site. Kept by the Librarian ๐๏ธ in the Tower's Wikis.
The fedwiki-merge skill analyses and cleans up a federated wiki that has been superseded by a newer domain. When a site is replaced (e.g. david.ide.earth โ david.vision.ide.earth), the old site is a mix of pages already copied to the new site, standard boilerplate, and unique content worth keeping. The skill separates these and handles each appropriately, ending with a full delete of the old domain.
Step 1 โ Analyse
Dry run โ prints a categorised report, no files touched:
fedwiki-merge-analyse david.ide.earth david.vision.ide.earth
Pages are placed into categories:
| Category | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
BOILERPLATE |
Standard tool pages (changes-to-this-site, welcome-visitors, toolsโฆ) โ checked first, regardless of date | Trash |
DUPLICATE_OLDER |
Same slug in new site; old version is older | Trash |
MINIMAL |
โค 1 item AND < 100 chars | Trash |
DUPLICATE_NEWER |
Same slug in new site; old version is newer | Review |
UNIQUE_CONTENT |
Only in old site, has real content | Move |
Step 2 โ Move Unique Pages
Moves all UNIQUE_CONTENT pages from the old site into the new site's pages/ folder, pushes each to Nextcloud, and deletes each from the old site's remote. Pages already present in the new site are never overwritten.

# or a specific page:
fedwiki-merge-move david.ide.earth david.vision.ide.earth my-page
Step 3 โ Trash Safe Pages
Moves BOILERPLATE, DUPLICATE_OLDER, and MINIMAL pages to {old-domain}/recycler/ and deletes them from the remote. The recycler is a local safety net โ pages can be manually recovered from there.
fedwiki-merge-trash david.ide.earth david.vision.ide.earth
Step 4 โ Reindex
Rebuilds the sitemap and search index on both sites after the moves and deletions:
nextcloud-reindex david.vision.ide.earth
nextcloud-reindex david.ide.earth
Step 5 โ Delete the Old Site
Once the old site's pages/ folder is empty, delete the whole domain:
fedwiki-delete-site david.ide.earth
# force even if pages remain:
fedwiki-delete-site david.ide.earth --force
