 All the content from https://theosophy.wiki/ is being imported into the Nostr wiki:

Why? I have no idea. But consider it a gift to all of you who love theosophy. And let me know if there are other nice wikis out there worth cloning.

 Apparently their API is buggy, old or just doesn't want to answer me: https://anarcopedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&list=allpages 
 It's a shame!
Anyway thank you 
 Doing this one now. Check it out: https://wikistr.com/custom.fiatjaf.com

 That's too much. I'll leave it for someone else. 
 Is erowid a wiki🤔 people find that useful 
 Looked into it. Seems like a good resource, but handwritten HTML?, would be impossible to scrape.

 I can't understand what this is even after clicking. 
 not only you, this is one of the most mysterious diseases, and in this wiki people collect as much information as possible about it

 Ah this is that fictional world sci-fi thing that's got quite a bit of a cult following written by 'qntm' (who seems to be some sort of programmer). Just in case anyone is interested lol. I only found out about this the other week.

 Love scp but it can stay where it is lol

I wondered if the Minecraft reporters without borders library which (claims) to be uncensored could part of wikifreedia (I have no idea lol)

 Now cloning https://rationalwiki.org/

Weirdly, there are some wikis that I wanted to clone out there that are powered by MediaWiki, but their APIs are not accessible for some reason. If anyone understands what is happening please let me know. 
 4 more wikis coming in. I wonder if anyone can even find this content. 
 If anyone wants to help me improve the conversion between wikitext and NIP-54 markdown please help: https://git.fiatjaf.com/wiki-importer

I'm currently using Pandoc with a custom Lua script for formatting the links and removing the images (yeah, I'm not sure how to properly grab the images, if anyone want to help with these that will also be great), but some things are not working well, like footnotes. 
 It seems that wikitext is a bit like markdown. 
 Oh no, it's much worse.
