How to view wikipedia dump files?

[Salvia]

Hi.

So. I downloaded the wikipedia dump files which allows you to access all the wikipedia pages offline.

from here
http://burnbit.com/torrent/370917/enwiki_20150602_pages_articles_xml_bz2

its in .xml.bz2 format and I don't know how to open it to browse wikipedia offline.

So I download bzreader from here https://code.google.com/p/bzreader/

This program is supposed to be able to open these files but it doesn't for me.

Does it work for anyone else?

Thanks.

The last update to bzreader was in 2010. Likely it doesn't support some new changes wiki has made.

Try http://sourceforge.net/projects/xowa/files/

Check out wiki taxi,

http://www.wikitaxi.org/delphi/doku.php/products/wikitaxi/index

I use this to have an offline wikipedia.

Okay. Wiki taxi is giving an sqlite error during the import.
