Downloadable Whole Wiki?

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
For some pages (not sure if in Ubuntu or elsewhere) i edited pages using Gedit and then copy&pasted the markup/down back into the online page.  I worry a bit that editing off-line or in a sandbox area might lead to losing the history of a page so copy&pasting back into the existing page seems to be a way around that.  

Of course, if it's a popular page that other people might also be editing then there could be other problems but i doubt that happens often anyway.  The once or twice it did happen the "conflicting" paragraphs got duplicated with each difference clearly highlighted.  So, it was fairly easy to work out how to merge or which one to delete.  

So, editing off-line is not a bad idea and you might have more joy using your own preferred text-editor rather than the in-built on-line one.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

No this is not an option although you could potentially setup up a crawler and scrape all the content yourself.
