How do I download the entire current text content (no images, no page histories) of a MediaWiki that I don't own/administer?
I know about Special:Export, but that requires a list of specific pages and doesn't accept "*" as a wild card.
I could combine Special:Allpages and Special:Export with a script or something somehow, but is there a better way?

Ask the owner to make a dump of all the content. I think the scripts for dumps are included with a standard install.
