Hi,
I've been tasked with building an offline copy of the Wikipedia website. The main
goal is to have the database and images stored locally so that we can run a Wikipedia
website on a local server. Our ultimate goal is to have Mediawiki and the Wikipedia
database and images stored on a single hard drive in servers in schools in Zimbabwe where
they have no Internet access.
I've made good progress so far but I can see that some templates are missing from my
Offline Wikipedia. I only found that these templates were missing because I was checking
random pages and noticed that the text "Template:abcdef" was displayed in red
text. It has the alt text "Template:abcdef (page does not exist)". A couple of
examples of missing templates are 'Template:Citation/make link' and
'Template:Gaps'.
My Offline Wikipedia data was imported into the MySQL database using the Mwdumper program.
The source data came from the enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml file. I imported the page
links into the database using the enwiki-latest-pagelinks.sql file.
Can anyone give me some guidance on how to troubleshoot this problem?
Thanks,
Kevin Clark
