    I don’t think there’s anything comprehensive enough to be called an alternative?

    I’m curious as to why you’re asking though.

    You can download a dump of wikipedia.

    Kiwix is a project aimed at allowing you to view offline / scraped copies of websites with minimal fuss.

    Although it’s legally American i.e. the non profit that runs it is based there, it’s a global project.

      One can go to other language versions of the Wikipedia as well and the info is different. The pages aren’t just translations from English.

      I’ll check out different countries’ pages sometimes to see different culture references or to see what names are in other languages. Very useful.
