Hello,

I tried dumping local Wikipedia to HTML using dumpHTML.php and I found two bugs:

- the most important one is in includes/Title.php in getHashedDirectory function. When the $dbkey contains characters such as ".", it is used, so for example if $dbkey is "1. ", then the generated directory name is "1/./_/", which of course is only "1/_" and all links in that file stop working (assuming I'm using depth of 3).

The fix is easy (borrowed from getHashedFilename). Just adding

$chars[$i] = strtr( $chars[$i], '/\*?"<>|~.', '__________' );

to the else part of if in the for cycle fixes the problem.

- When generating specials (I suggest generating also Special:Allpages, not only categories), we should either make it possible to navigate through the result set using static HTML, or (for smaller wikis) getting rid of limits and navigation alltogether. I worked around this problem by increasing limits and deleting forms from the particular pages.

Also, the generation is painfully slow, is it possible to speed it up somehow? I had to rerun it on Sun Fire V20 with two processors to get at least a little bit reasonable time for generation (two hours for sk and cs wikipedia).

One last question: how to get rid of interwiki links to different language mutations? They don't work in local wikipedia of course...

Sincerely,

Juraj Bednar.
