Link to download paragon wiki?
kahn265:
I know this is out of the blue, but most wikia projects have the ability for users to download the data.
I'd like to download the paragon wiki for offline use.
Is there a link?
Aggelakis:
ParagonWiki is not part of wikia.
I don't think there's a public link to download PW. The link I found is behind an admin wall. Sekoia may know more.

There is a thread about this here: http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,9472.0.html
Looks like that person used HTTrack.
Sekoia:
The downloads you can retrieve from wikia are database dumps. In order to make use of those, you would have to install your own local instance of Mediawiki, with a database server and web server to run it. If you're looking to do that for Paragon Wiki then no, we don't have an option to download database dumps. However, you can export the equivalent data for articles of your choosing using http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Special:Export and then import that data on your wiki using Special:Import.
However, be advised that Paragon Wiki uses a bunch of extensions. The pages you import are likely to be broken if you don't set everything up right. Morever, we use DPL and SMW extensively. Pages that use DPL or SMW queries won't work unless you copy over all the articles the depend on.
That's a lot of work, and it only gives you the text content (same as with Wikia). You won't get any images that way; you'd have to do those manually (same as with Wikia).
If you just want a local copy for browsing purposes, then HTTrack is likely a better option. But be aware that it's going to be in the ballpark of 4 GB of data to download, thanks to the images.
