Availability of wiki dump
Is there a feasability of making the wiki dump available for offline use? I know that Wikipedia does a brilliant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_database) community job at it. It would greatly help in offloading some of the load from the servers while making the wiki responsive for contributing users.
Of course, if someone ever wanted to contribute or join a discussion or get the latest updates one would refer the online version. But for most of the community folks who are in here for getting info on playing the game (access read only) and/or behind sub-standard internet connection it would be a great community service.
P.S. I guess this wiki has reached a level a maturity where updates to core/important content are minimal while vast majority of updates are on the discussion pages. Hence the thought. -- Mrinal 3:03, 5 August 2009
- This is one of those things that is asked about from time to time but either I don't have time or forgot about. Right now my priority is other things but if someone reminds me in a few weeks when I'm not so busy....this sort of ties in with improving the backup and recovery of the site. Having an offsite site copy automatically created every day or week would be a good thing. -- Daveh 14:16, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
