The Memory Alpha server automatically generates dumps of the MediaWiki database every night. These compressed XML dumps are available for download for backup purposes and for offline reading. You can click the link below to download the most recent backup of the database. Only the current version of each page is included in the download. As of February 2021, these downloads are approximately 360 megabytes in size, compressed to ~63 megabytes.
Alternatively, you can download the full database, including history (~25 gigabytes, compressed to ~271 megabytes, as of February 2021).
