Converting the formatted text to wikicode. WikEd is a full-featured, in-browser text editor that adds enhanced text processing functions to Wikipedia and other MediaWiki edit pages (currently Mozilla, Firefox, SeaMonkey, Safari, and Chrome only). With this Firefox-add-on it is possible to make little edits to wiki-articles without having to leave or reload the page, so the flow in reading an article is barely disturbed. There are always a lot of different addons for editing or reading Wikipedia, sometimes not so stable or not so long lasting, but you can likely find some that will help you seriously.

My downloading isn’t urgent, so doing it slowly spreads the server load out a bit.Īnd that’s it… it downloaded a copy of every page, complete with every image, and fixed all links and references to be relative paths to my local copy. wait means that wget will wait for 5 seconds between downloading each page. header was where I provided the session id I obtained from the cookie created for Firefox. By not including the -span-hosts option, I also made sure that no web links away from the wiki site were followed. no-parent made sure that I only downloaded stuff from the particular wiki I was interested in, by preventing wget from ascending to any parent directory of the URL I gave it. With this option enabled, this is treated as an HTML page and the local copy renamed to Apples.html accordingly. So a page about apples would have a URL of. The URLs for pages in our wiki end with the page name. html-extension was used because pages in my wiki don’t end in. It converts all links to downloaded pages to relative links, from their original absolute links that would have pointed back to the live online wiki. convert-links enables the ability for wget to, after downloading all of the pages in the wiki, to rename the links within the downloaded pages to point at my new local copy. With this enabled, it not only downloaded the ‘Home’ page I pointed it at, but it followed the links on that page, and downloaded them and so on. mirror selects the default options to mirror a site – such as enabling recursion. Wget -mirror -convert-links -html-extension -no-parent -wait=5 -header "Cookie: JSESSIONID=0000k8lkMXmvmF-75Pd8CuvTIBv:-1" 
In my case, it was only valid until the end of my browsing session, so it isn’t reusable any more. The Cookies dialog also shows when this cookie expires. The useful bit was the Content value for the JSESSIONID. If you click on “Show Cookies” in the Firefox Options, you can search for the wiki URL. The approach I found to work is to use Firefox to access the site, logging on with my userid and password, then letting use the cookie generated by my Firefox session. wget provides several approaches to this, from HTTP authentication to letting you spoof form variables in the commands it sends. wgetrc file in my home directory and add “ robots = off” to it. And by default, wget respects instructions in robots.txt. The robots.txt file for where our wiki is hosted is configured to prevent automated bots from leeching content from the site.
I already had wget on my Ubuntu desktop, but if you are on Windows you can google for “wget for windows”. I’ve put the steps I took here, in case they will be useful for others.
Yesterday, I had a play with wget to try and download an offline copy of the wiki to use as a backup for when it isn’t working or is going painfully slow. Key information that I need is in that wiki, and when the wiki goes down it can be difficult and frustrating. Wikis can be a fantastic tool for collaboration, and this wiki is a single place where we can share information and our progress.īut we’ve been having problems with the reliability of the wiki – it is unavailable at times, and can be painfully slow at others. We use a Confluence wiki for one of the projects that I work on.
