I've seen a few products (mostly commercial) out there that do this; however, it seems reasonable that such a functionality might be useful here.
Too often I run across really good articles on web pages that get bookmarked, only later the actual site disappears. In this case, wouldn't it be "nice" to be able to import that page (and its elements) for private use into MediaWiki, with full search capability.
Would be a great reference point.
Anyone thought of this?

I'm not familiar with "spurl" - I did Google around, and didn't find anything specific.
What/where is it?
spurl.net ?
SPURL is a bookmark service. I have something like that already.
What I mentioned was a way to actually download (copy) a web page, in its entirety (graphics etc) and in turn *store* that locally in a MediaWiki for archival/perusal.
There are programs out there that do this independently, like MyBASE, etc. I just think a MediaWiki import would be more useful...

It might be a nice little extension...
