Wikimedia Downloads
If you are reading this on Wikimedia servers, please note that we have rate limited downloaders and we are capping the number of per-ip connections to 3. This will help to ensure that everyone can access the files with reasonable download times. Clients that try to evade these limits may be blocked. Our mirror sites do not have this cap.
Data downloads
- MediaWiki Content File Exports
- A complete copy of all public Wikimedia wikis, in the form of wikitext source and metadata embedded in XML - the editable source of each page.
- Database backup dumps
- A complete copy of all public Wikimedia wikis, in the form of wikitext source and metadata embedded in XML (Note: These XML dumps are deprecated, please use MediaWiki Content File Exports instead). A number of raw database tables in SQL form are also available.
- These snapshots are provided monthly. If you are a regular user of these dumps, please consider subscribing to xmldatadumps-l for regular updates.
- Backups of some Wikimedia wikis that no longer exist - including the Sept. 11 wiki - are also available.
- Mirror sites: the XML dumps above are also mirrored elsewhere - check the complete list.
- Wikimedia Enterprise HTML dumps
- Bulk rendered HTML of articles - the page as readers see it, rather than wikitext source. This content is provided through Wikimedia Enterprise, the Wikimedia Foundation's commercial service: its Snapshot API provides regularly updated HTML dumps and its On-demand API serves individual articles - both available with a free account, or via your Wikimedia Cloud Services developer account. Static HTML dumps that remain hosted on this site are listed on the HTML dumps archive page.
- Analytics data files
- Pageview, Mediacount, Unique, and other stats.
- Other files
- Additional datasets including Wikidata entity dumps, Structured Data from Commons, CirrusSearch search indexes, daily page and media titles, short URLs, and more.
- Kiwix files
- Static dumps of wiki projects in OpenZim format
Software downloads
- MediaWiki
- MediaWiki is a free software wiki package written in PHP, originally for use on Wikipedia. It is now used by several other projects of the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation and by many other wikis.
