![]() ![]() Because the DF wiki is so reliant on redirecting general links to a particular namespace (for example when you go to wiki/noble, it's actually going to redirect you to wiki/DF2012:Noble), those redirects don't seem to play perfectly with wikitaxi, so you'll have to rely on the search bar for most of your reading. You will now have access to the DF wiki offline! You can search the wiki using the bar at the top of wikitaxi window. taxi file" and select the taxi file you just created. Then run the importer to create the taxi file itself.įinally, open up wikitaxi and go to options, then select "open. taxi file that wikitaxi uses to interpret the wiki database, so you also need to tell the importer where to output the taxi file. Wikitaxi importer will convert the bz2 archive into a. Select the bz2 archive you just made with 7zip. Extract wikitaxi into any folder of your choice (it's a self contained prog and needs no installation) then run the wikitaxi importer. ![]() Taxi leaves some things to be desired and it's a bit rudimentary, but it's basically the only program available that's capable of doing this job. Add the dump xml to this archive (not the gz file you downloaded, but the xml file itself). Create a new archive in 7zip and make sure the archive format is bzip2. On unix systems you probably know of a compression utility to convert to bz2 on windows you'll need 7zip.ĭownload the dump and open it in 7zip, then extract the xml file inside. really if you can support one of the archive formats, another one shouldn't be too far away. Note for other people trying to use the dump: because it's gzipped, wikitaxi cannot interpret it (I was surprised that it couldn't. Thank you so much! Works perfectly with wikitaxi. Is it at all possible to get this dump service for an entire namespace of the DF wiki, or is that too big a task for the admin team to worry about right now? This would totally solve my problem, and we can assume that I have enough hard drive space to handle the volume. Wikipedia has the facility to dump a massive number of pages, minus talks, users and old revisions, to a reader's hard drive, and the WikiTaxi tool is capable of interpreting those dumps (ie the mediawiki database format) and displaying them in a convenient reader for offline use. Since I'm getting back into the game right after a new version's release (and I stopped playing around 31.18, so there are a lot of features I have yet to learn), I'm in constant need of the wiki to familiarize myself, so I basically can't play DF offline. I'm almost unable to play DF without either immediate access to the wiki, or printouts of the pages I require. I spend a lot of time without internet access, and DF is such a hardcore game that I find myself severely hobbled without access to the glorious wiki to provide me with the raw information I need. ![]()
