On occasion I use a program under Debian Linux
called wikipedia2text that is very handy
for downloading wikipedia pages as plain text files ....
Description: displays Wikipedia articles on the command line
This script fetches Wikipedia articles (currently supports
around 30 Wikipedia languages) and displays them as plain text
in a pager or just sends the text to standard out. Alternatively
it opens the Wikipedia article in a (possibly GUI) web browser
or just shows the URL of the appropriate Wikipedia article.
Example directed through the lynx browser ....
wp2t -b lynx gorilla > gorilla.txt
