    downloading it is fine but i think the contents of wikipedia are so thoroughly archived that i doubt it is in danger of becoming “lost media”.

    my fear isn’t that the information would be destroyed, but that the ongoing project of keeping the knowledge up to date would stop, or be split across some underground efforts with varying quality standards.
