gollark: Hmm, how can I improve wiki encyclopaedia?
gollark: I'm limited by whatever random files the openzim people provide, unless I expend great* effort running the wiki archiver script myself.
gollark: I have Wikipedia, ArchWiki, several stackexchange sites (not technically *wikis*), the CC wikis (old/new), Wikivoyage, the Gentoo wiki, "All The Tropes", and actually that's it.
gollark: Of course.
gollark: I should download this to the osmarks.tk wiki archive™.
