Mediawiki downloader

This python script scans website for pages and downloads them. Notice: it will not download media files like photos, videos and so on.

Download directory: script execution directory.

It indexes all pages and creates a file "num2name.txt" where you can get original page name for each number of xml-document (see below). After this it downloads all pages in XML format with all history. Names look like "0.xml", "1.xml", ....
