Why not use a frame to display the actual wikipedia version? Although this
still falls under the realm of live mirror.

Hello,
Question: is it possible to display the latest version of a
wikipedia.org
page in another mediawiki site simply by GET
using the API:import? Or is
there an easier way?
Yes.
I've already read about xml export/import.
But I need the latest version
of
the page and not have to constantly export from
wikipedia manually.
So is it possible to create a URL for each target page so that on the fly
pulls the content of a particular
wikipedia.org page in the destination
site? A 1:1 relationship.
In the past it was generally considered 'Not Nice' (tm) to live mirror
wikipedia, although it was somewhat allowed if you had a reasonable
cache time to avoid requesting the page every time you had a visitor.
I'm not sure what the current consensus is by the tech team.
