Mass Edit of Wiki pages

bluesguy

I would like to make some 'mass' edits to my campaign. Basically move all the characters, items, etc. on the Wiki instead of their own areas. That is pretty easy - time consuming but easy.

Here is where the fun crops up. I have been making sure to cross link everything. So if there are Wiki page items which reference specific characters then I have made sure to the wiki page has the link to the character. I have a lot of Wiki pages. To change them all would not be a good use of time.

It would be nice to be able to do a search-replace across the entire campaign site.

Either that is it possible to 'download' the site, edit it, and then upload the changes (for the entire site)?

I don't know how you could do such thing... Maybe you could download the backup of your campaign (in Manage campaign/Edit setting), do your search-replace, delete your campaign and reinstall it with the modified backup... No, really, I don't know if it's possible...

One of the advantages I had when I did this is I use the tags heavily. It allowed me to double-check by going through the tags of the pages I moved, to make sure I had the links all done.
It was really, really time consuming- but every day you wait, it becomes even more of a chore....

It is quite annoying that I can't do a mass edit but onward and upward.
