Static Wiki Download Outdated and Incomplete

I was recently hoping to do a bit of development during a plane flight, so I downloaded the static offline wiki from here (https://love2d.org/wiki/Main_Page). However, when I extracted and examined the wiki, I noticed two things:
  • The file was last generated on Sun 28 Feb 2021 12:09:39 AM CET (according to the readme.txt). Since I imagine the wiki has changed since then, it seems either the timestamp is incorrect or whatever automated process generated wiki.zip has stopped running sometime last year. Please note that I did not check to see if any "new" pages (from after Feb 28, 2021) were present because of the number of missing pages detailed below.
  • Several basic sanity check links fail. For instance:
    • index.html -> "love.audio" (love1.html): Not found.
    • index.html -> "love.data" (love12.html): Not found.
    • Navigating index.html -> "love.physics" works, but "love.physics" (love12.html) -> "love.physics.newWorld" (love.physics12.html) fails.
    Unless I'm navigating this in an incorrect way, this would imply that the vast majority of the documentation is not present.
Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding the intended contents of wiki.zip? I worried about submitting this as an issue, as I don't know if the issue tracker (https://github.com/love2d/love/issues) covers problems with the website or if it just covers bugs with Love2D itself. Thus, I am submitting this here as a question.

I don't know if that file (wiki.zip) has ever not been broken. It's probably better to use this website which has everything on one page (easy to save).

There's a separate repository for tracking website issues: https://github.com/love2d/website/issues/5

For now the page refreezed shared is probably your best bet.

Hmm... thank you for the alternative. I'll use that. I also upvoted Slime's suggestion on the wiki page. Hopefully someone with the proper permissions can redirect the link so that other users won't be confused as I was.
