::Various reasons. My internet occasionally craps out and it would be nice to be able to look up some guide/cheats for a game I'm playing while waiting for the internet to come back. Also "ensure that the content of this wiki lives on regardless of anything that happens". I may also use it for some stats (for example: which game has the most cheats?) and things like that, but I don't have any concrete plans for that yet. What do you mean by "the state of things in 2018 is considerably different"? [[User:Lite Grooves|Lite Grooves]] ([[User talk:Lite Grooves|talk]]) 04:50, 25 March 2018 (UTC) | ::Various reasons.

:::There's the addthis widget on every page that has a print option, or you can try printing the page to pdf (check out cutepdf).

I think the [https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22strategywiki%22 internet archive] has many of our pages cached as well, or you can use [[Special:Export]]. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 15:50, 25 March 2018 (UTC) | :::There's the addthis widget on every page that has a print option, or you can try printing the page to pdf (check out cutepdf).

::::Primarily the challenge with making the dumps available is their size, and where that could be reliably hosted. Of course, the dumps don't include the images, which accounts for an even greater amount of our storage, which is another problem. I am very much concerned with making sure the content of the wiki lives on, and perhaps our connections with NIWA can ensure the content's survival should anything happen to StrategyWiki directly. If SW does not survive for one reason or another, we will absolutely make sure that access to the content will be preserved.
