WikiTeam is working on the archival, with the usual XML dumps and image dumps. You can follow updates and see how to help:

Already before the announcement we had XML dumps for thousands of Miraheze wikis.

The thread linked has the information you need. Read me on the Github page for WikiTeam's dump generator.

ArchiveTeam WikiTeam has download tooling: https://github.com/WikiTeam/wikiteam

Hi all - I'm trying to archive a number of fandom pages. Upon checking out this subreddit, I've found a few ways of doing so, and am currently working with the WikiTeam python tool (https://github.com/WikiTeam/wikiteam)

Httrack is a good choice for having a local copy of the wiki you can browse personally, but note that if you ever have to back up a wiki in a formal suitable for migrating to another wiki site, something like ArchiveTeam's WikiTeam tool would be suitable. It also has a built-in tool to upload the resulting backup to archive.org, like how someone has done so with the MGQ wiki here.

I found ArchiveTeam's WikiTeam tool relatively easy to use. I just had to download the repository from github (from the Code: Download Zip in the top right), have Python installed, open a command prompt in the folder, copy-paste the commands from their front page, have it fail complaining about missing modules, look up the command to install Python modules, and install the modules it needs. Their tutorial has additional instructions for uploading the resulting archives to archive.org and for downloading lists of wikis.

If anyone has used this app please help me. I have followed the instruction in the readme.txt https://github.com/WikiTeam/wikiteam and I have the dumpgenerator.py but, when I run it with this commands:

People have pasted this around, https://github.com/iipc/awesome-web-archiving Could probably do it with wget if you had enough time?

Maybe something on this list can help you https://github.com/iipc/awesome-web-archiving

Awesome Web Archiving has a longer list of tools and software

Not related to the OP topic or zim but I was looking into archiving my bookmarks and other content like documentation sites and wikis. I'll list some of the things I ended up using.

ArchiveBox[1]: Pretty much a self-hosted wayback machine. It can save websites as plain html, screenshot, text, and some other formats. I have my bookmarks archived in it and have a bookmarklet to easily add new websites to it. If you use the docker-compose you can enable a full-text search backend for an easy search setup.

WebRecorder[2]: A browser extension that creates WACZ archives directly in the browser capturing exactly what content you load. I use it on sites with annoying dynamic content that sites like wayback and ArchiveBox wouldn't be able to copy.

ReplayWeb[3]: An interface to browse archive types like WARC, WACZ, and HAR. The interface is just like browsing through your browser. It can be self-hosted as well for the full offline experience.

browsertrix-crawler[4]: A CLI tool to scrape websites and output to WACZ. Its super easy to run with Docker and I use it to scrape entire blogs and docs for offline use. It uses Chrome to load webpages and has some extra features like custom browser profiles, interactive login, and autoscroll/autoplay. I use the `--generateWACZ` parameter so I can use ReplayWeb to easily browse through the final output.

For bookmark and misc webpage archiving then ArchiveBox should be more than enough. Check out this repo for an amazing list of tools and resources https://github.com/iipc/awesome-web-archiving
