Wiki.zip is too small

[yu-tang]

Today I downloaded a wiki.zip file for offline viewing via Main page.
I extracted it and got just 1,149 files. Most of the topics are missing and the hyperlinks are broken everywhere. It seems something is wrong with wiki archiver.

You can try tool like httrack. Database size would be more 1.8GB

If it's not trivial to fix the download, maybe we can delete the link or replace it with a link to something like https://love2d-community.github.io/love-api/ (while mentioning it's unofficial)?

My wiki account doesn't have permission to edit the home page which has the broken link.

@slime73's suggestion would be best, in my opinion. As a casual user of Love2D, I was somewhat frustrated by the incomplete dump of the wiki.

You're right, it's been deleted for now.

There's sadly no good tool for archiving a wiki that I'm aware of.
I'm not talking about XML dumps or whatever MW offers, I'm talking about useful-for-users rendered HTML.

I was using some random mw2html.py (looking at it now, it's from 2005 and made for some ancient python version) but that's not an option now.

This is coming from someone who has only run minor web servers (and never MediaWiki), but would wget offer a potential alternative? I'll admit it would be quite an inefficient solution, since it's meant to scrape remote sites, but I've had some success with it in creating static copies of websites in the past.

It was the first option I tried when we were making the wiki backup but it had some issues that I forgot, it's been a while.
