I would like to be able to make an offline version of a MediaWiki site on a weekly basis.The DumpHTML extension actually does what I want, as it dumps all articles and media files, but I can't see any index of all the articles it have dumped, so I can't navigate in the dump.Reading about the XML dump feature MediaWiki have, I wonder if it would be possible to either use a program to view these files or perhaps convert them to html?Or are there other ways to make an offline version of a MediaWiki site?
How to dump a MediaWiki for offline use?
mediawiki
You could use a webcrawler tool which will save the site as HTML files. All the links will be converted, so you can open the main page, say, and then click on links and get to all the site.There are a number of these tools available. I use wget, which is command line based and has thousands of options, so not very friendly. However it is quite powerful.For example, here is the command line I used to dump my own mediawiki site. I suggest you understand each option though before using it yourself:c:\program files\wget\wget -k -p -r -R '*Special*' -R '*Help*' -E http://example.com/wiki
