Not sure it is good stewardship but we've spent the last 18 months frantically trying to fix, then rewrite almost entirely our scraper 🙃

Les dumps de la Fondation sont machine-readable, ceux de Kiwix sont pour les humains :-)
Concernant la discussion plus générale, c'est également un problème pour la WMF et ils vont commencer à bloquer les bots. "L'information est gratuite, pas l'infrastructure".

We did have a few Government websites zim files and we stopped updating them in January.
But there's a lot of data that simply can't be zimmed up, though there are some efforts to download and hoard as much as possible

Mediawiki offline has just been released, we've started testing and smaller wikis are already back. If all goes well we're looking at a May-June return to normalcy.

If you are talking about the miraheze wiki, it looks like the site is under a CC license - you could simply ask to have it added to the Kiwix library github.com/openzim/zim-...
