A [[:Category:Legacy Personal Page|large  community]] of mappers, coders and modelers helps in this effort. [[Legacy:New Contributors Quick Start|Find out how]].

'''Never use an offline reader to download the entire Unreal Wiki.  If you do, we will ban you instantly and permanently.'''  Offline readers put an insane stress on the web server because they follow each and every of the processing-intensive maintenance links on the Wiki that are used seldomly by real people.  Don't say you haven't been warned.

We're providing the entire Wiki content as a '''convenient single download on [[Legacy:Offline Wiki|Offline Wiki]]''' though.  It's smaller, zipped and downloads faster than what any offline reader could give you.  Of course you can also save individual pages using your web browser without problems.
