archive-fandom-wiki

This program archives the content of fandom wikis.

It's pretty much feature-complete. I still have to add detailed comments to describe what each significant piece of code is doing.

This program doesn't scrape from the fandom.com wiki sites directly; rather, it uses my BreezeWiki instance to avoid downloading unnecessary ads, images, and other junk.

Each resulting archive is self-contained, meaning one can extract the contents and browse the wiki snapshot locally (offline). The URLs for CSS, images, and links in each page are replaced by the file:/// URLs for their corresponding pages on the local filesystem.

I formatted the Python program with black -l 79 to comply with PEP8 standards.

For usage info, run the program with no arguments:
