Wiktionary doesn’t support tables
You can also directly open a ticket at https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner/issues with as much info as possible so we can look into it (zim name, language, date, article name, etc.)

Recent Wiktionary ZIM files don't show a search bar
Welp yes, that's a bug (likely a regression from a recent update). Can you please open a ticket at https://github.com/openzim/zim-requests/issues (we might move it later on but that's as good a starting place as can be).

Latest Wikipedia zim dump (97 GB) is available for download
https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner/issues/1655 Unfortunate that there's no way to convert the easiest way to make proper dumps of wikis (ArchiveTeam's wikiteam-tools) to Kiwix Zims. That would allow for all sorts of niche information to be preserved in a readable way.

What's the "best" way to make your own ZIMs (in docker)?
I'm looking at making my own ZIM though not sure the best way to go about it. I've seen zimit on Github and the mwoffliner on Github too.

Self made ZIM-File only contains [object object]
Generally speaking, I'd advise opening a ticket on https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner/issues

Creating ZIM files for Kiwix by myself?
r/kiwix would be the place to ask, but at the end of the day it all comes down to heading out to openzim.org (or the corresponding github repo) and figuring it out. You can either grab zimit and run it locally, or access all the libraries that will help you build your own scraper (Nautilus will assemble documents and videos into a single file library, MWoffliner will do for wikis, youtube will do YouTube, etc.).
