: Hi Benny. Unfortunately I'm no expert on loading the Bible onto a wiki. The way I've done it in the past is by downloading the Bible as a text file and then writing a program in Visual Basic to separate each verse and create a large .xml file that can then be imported into the wiki using the "Import pages" function. It's probably not the best way. The user Aquitiki has done it a slightly different and more efficient way. But which-ever way you want to do it it is going to involve being able to use a programming language. Are you familiar with any language? --[[User:Graham grove|Graham grove]] 13:09, 25 July 2008 (PDT)
I'm pretty comfortable with php language, and right now i'm playing with wikipedia robot using perl language. I'll try the xml method. So you didn't use a robot? On second thought, I think using export page is easier than operating a robot, could you give me a tutorial on how did you separate each verse etc? Also, I noticed an [edit] link on each verse, and thought that's funny, because it implies that any user ''could change'' scripture. I'd suggest a [discuss] link on each instead. Discuss this verse makes more sense in a bible wiki than Edit this verse. [[User:Bennylin|Bennylin]] 22:55, 25 July 2008 (PDT)
