Until yesterday, I thought that Wikipedia's static dumps were generated with the
maintenance/dumpHTML.{php,ini} scripts. But the page
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Alternative_parsers currently reads: "This has
been used (years ago) to create the static dumps at
http://static.wikipedia.org"quot;.
So, what is the method currently used to generate the dumps? I need to dump a
wiki for offline use, and I'd like to be as compatible as possible.
(I'd also like to dump the math equations and other extensions I have installed,
so I thought staying as close as possible to mediawiki would be the way to go).

together by a [[Rube Goldberg
machine]] of every little peice imaginable (inculding the souls of the
developers) although after the rewrite that is planned it should be a
lot more documented and easier to follow.
