Downloading Websites (lemmy.zip)

I’ve been looking online for ways to download websites (game wikis mostly), in order to have them all in my collection and ensure that they dont get taken down or changed.

After trying linkwarden, which is fine for singular web pages, one has to manually link each individual page of the wiki in order to make a pdf.

With this in mind, the only other option that I’ve discovered is using wget recursively. Do any you of you have experience with this or reccomend alternative ideas? Any and all help is appreciated.

PS: I will most likely download official game guides which will cover most of the games, but looking for something to cover all my games library.

You wouldn't download a website, would you?

If you were going to do somehthing like this, you might also consider doing it on some kind of version control. You might want something that does update regularly (like a wiki), but if they ever try and paywall it, you've got a copy.

Should be something you could knock out in python in an afternoon.
