Wikipedia Extraction
by Al
A project that I am working on (to be announced later) would benefit from my extracting a chunk of articles from Wikipedia. The license on the project page where this stuff would appear matches Wikipedia’s GPL one so, as far as I know, I simply need to attribute each and every article to its original source article on Wikipedia.
The problem, other than sticking such things in, is that MediaWiki seems to only give a mechanism for extracting articles one by one. If you’re doing something on the order of 150 articles or so, this would become massively tedious.
If anyone knows of a tool or a process to make extracting articles from Wikipedia for use elsehwhere (on another MediaWiki specifically), I’d love to hear about it.

Or you could create one of those portal thingies in Wikipedia.
What I have done with my wiki project on pbwiki is link to relevant Wikipedia articles.
By the way, you’re listed at Pagan Blogs – if you feel like linking back, that’d be great.
