Gentlemen, let's say one is afraid one day the forces of evil will confiscate one's small wiki, so one wants to encourage all loyal users to keep a backup of the whole wiki (current revisions fine, no need for full history).
OK, we want this to be as simple as possible for our loyal users, just one click needed. (So forget Special:Export!)
Heh, I guess it would be a pain to do it by API, why don't you just download the backup from http://download.wikimedia.org ? ;) Looking at the sizes of these files, you can prolly tell why it cannot be done by API.
