== Downloading a MediaWiki page ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[w:Webpage#Saving_a_web_page]] shows the possibilities for saving a local copy of a webpage. Alternatively (or in addition) one can copy the [[Help:Filling the page|wikitext]], i.e. the text in the edit box (the source code within the database).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Information in the webpage but not in the wikitext:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*images&lt;br /&gt;
*content of [[Help:Template|template]]s referred to&lt;br /&gt;
*values of [[Help:Variable|variable]]s&lt;br /&gt;
*existence at the time of saving of linked internal pages&lt;br /&gt;
*date and time of the last edit before saving&lt;br /&gt;
*in the Image namespace ([[Help:Image description page|Image description page]]s): the image itself, the image history and the list of pages linking to the image&lt;br /&gt;
*in the Category namespace: the lists of subcategories and pages in the category.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Information in the wikitext but not in the webpage:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*comments (even though HTML also allows comments)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See also [[Help:Export|XML export]], [[Help:MediaWiki architecture|MediaWiki architecture]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Downloading some linked pages ==&lt;br /&gt;
When saving a local copy of some MediaWiki pages, note the following.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A link to e.g. the train article in Wikipedia is given in the HTML-code as /wiki/Train . This refers to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train . Depending on  your browser settings the former may be changed into the latter when saving the page. To avoid this, apply View Source and save that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Put the copy in folder C:\wiki (another drive letter is also possible, but wiki should not be a subfolder) and do not use any file name extension. This way the links work. Inconvenient is that you can not open a file in a folder listing by clicking on it, because of the lack of a file name extension.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A problem with saving the source code is that images are not saved automatically with the page. Saving them separately in a place corresponding to the HTML code is cumbersome, e.g. the first image of the train article would have to be C:/upload/thumb/c/c2/250px-Tile_Hill_train_550.jpg&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the images are more important than the mutual links, then use the browser option to save the webpage with images.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course variations are possible by changing the HTML-code oneself, e.g. changing http://en.wikipedia.org to C: and/or adding the file name extension .htm .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On some sites outside Wikimedia, instead of &amp;quot;\wiki&amp;quot; another folder has to be used, see [[Help:URL]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When downloading pages from different sites to the same folder \wiki on the same drive, note that a page name can only be used once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
