Crawling wikipedia

I'm going through crawling wikipedia using website downloader for windows, i was looking through the whole options in this tool to find an option to download wikipedia pages for specific period, for example from 2005 untill now.
Does anyone get any idea about crawling the website in specific period of time ?

Why not download the SQL database containing all of Wikipedia? 
You can then query it using SQL.

Give a try to the Wikipedia API and your programming skills.
