DSM, showing up with nothing other than offtopic personal attacks ("You do this often.") fits within my definition of trolling. I appreciate the support but I know you can do better than this.
I don't think you're a terrible person or poster, Loramin. If you thought I was attacking you I apologize. I thought you made a mistake, and the thing about mistakes is we all make them. Let's get back on topic, shall we?

Mattson, I wrote up a little tool that you (or anyone else) might try out and see if it could be useful. It's a local webserver that proxies the p99 wiki. So you can browse the wiki just like normal, but every page you visit gets cached locally. That means that if the wiki is down or slow it will fall back to the local cache.
It's only half-finished and still quite rough around the edges but if it proves to be useful I can polish it up.
Instructions
1. Install Python3 on your computer (
https://www.python.org/downloads/)
2. Download the attached main.txt file somewhere on your computer - the cached wiki files will be downloaded to this location
3. Rename from main.txt to main.py
4. Open a command prompt or terminal at that location
5. type "python3 -m pip install requests" to install the necessary 'requests' library
6. type "python3 main.py"
7. open a web browser and go to "localhost:8088/Main_Page"
Current Limitations
* Search does not work. You have to navigate to the specific page by URL or links
* The wiki uses redirects (like "Skyshrine_Armor" redirects to "Skyshrine_Armor_Quests" and there's probably some corner cases that won't work correctly
* The wiki is case-sensitive ("Skyshrine_armor" is different from "Skyshrine_Armor") and there's probably some corner cases that won't work correctly
* There's no cache updates right now, so the page you see will always be frozen at the first version cached. This would be the next thing I'd work on if there's interest in this project.
* CSS styling isn't working and I don't know why, so the formatting looks all wonky.
