So hey.. In the interest of ARCHIVE EVERYTHING.

I am wondering if the coders here could make a wiki scraper that archives everything in the specific wiki.. With a limit to set bytes so it does not trawl the entire wiki.. More so, Starting before it was wokipedya edited.
Probably not making sense, but those who know what I am chasing know... keke Make it a botnet decentralized archive... You know what I am saying.
Just an idea, Hope I am not the first, Scrape the history etc.

This is probably the perfect time to learn something. There is a shit ton of libraries for python and js that will make pulling specific things off websites easier. If you already have a basic understanding of scripting, it shouldn't be too hard to quickly get something up and running. These days, there is a whole fucking ocean of things you can use freely.

What specific wiki are we looking at? I'm not the best at coding but I can try something, plus I'm bored.
If I can get the link, I can look at how the pages are formatted and then write something off of that.
 
I think one of the python projects on free code academy is a webscraper. It takes like 2-3 months of doing a lesson a day to get to that point.
