This weekend's project: get a data dump from a Fandom wiki (all of them have this: check out the page Special:Statistics) and turn it into an offline version (a .zim file, readable with software such as Kiwix, on many platforms) via a (surprisingly short) Python script. This is a very useful thing to have -- a complete offline copy of something like the Forgotten Realms wiki for reference when the internet is slow! #DnD
