Update to Wikipedia for Schools zim
This request is for the wikipedia_en_for_schools_maxi Zim file. This is for the English version. If possible, could this replace the previous Zim recipe? Thank you!

@SolarSPELL-Main Quick update: MWoffliner is currently undergoing maintenance / revamp so it may take some time before we can handle this request!
As a side note, do you know how many new articles have been added (or if there have been other changes) in this new list?
Hi, @Popolechien! Thank you for the update. About how long do you think it will take? Yes, there are 415 new articles that have been added to the list.
Thank you!!
Hello! I see that the Wiki For Schools online has still not been updated. When do you reckon it shall be updated? We have a team of university students who are working on updating the Wikipedia for Schools module this semester, but it is challenging to update the module if they cannot compare it to the most recent version. Please let me know if you need anything else from us to update this as soon as possible! Thank you very much!
@SolarSPELL-Main We're in the last stages of revamping MWoffliner to version 2.0 but there is a dependency bug Wikimedia-side that still needs to be resolved. No idea about the current ETA, hopefully this won't take too long but I would not expect anything before Spring tbh
Hi @Popolechien, thank you very much for the update! We are excitedly awaiting the updated version! Please keep us posted!
Hi, @Popolechien! I have a few questions about the format of Wiki For Schools. We would like to change the homepage layout in the next iteration. Do you have time to set up a quick Zoom chat next week to talk through logistics? Thank you!!
@Popolechien @SolarSPELL-Main updated ZIMs have been just published in DEV: https://dev.library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng&q=school ; can you please review them (and @Popolechien please request them in prod if they are OK)?
Side-question: do we really want the nopic version? Homepage is missing the navigation to categories so it is really barely usable. But maybe this will be fixed with new homepage.
@SolarSPELL-Main I would draw your attention to https://dev.library.kiwix.org/viewer#wikipedia_en_for_schools_maxi_2025-02/A/Wikipedia%3AWikipedia_for_Schools/Welcome/History/General_Concepts - you will notice that most of the links appear has hard text (non clickable) compared to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_for_Schools/Welcome/History/General_Concepts
This is because none of them is present in the .tsv file that was given to us, so the first order of business for a proper update would be to add them to your list.
@SolarSPELL-Main @Popolechien We have a new ZIM at https://dev.library.kiwix.org/viewer#wikipedia_en_for_schools_maxi_2025-06 which like quite decent to me.
Shall we publish this one to production despite "issues" on https://dev.library.kiwix.org/viewer#wikipedia_en_for_schools_maxi_2025-06/Wikipedia%3AWikipedia_for_Schools/Welcome/History/General_Concepts page?
@benoit74 The issue impacts almost all pages, so no, I would recommend waiting for the .tsv file to be updated. I'll ping them directly.
Reassigning to @Popolechien as it seems to depends on him receiving the new TSV file to complete this issue.
@SolarSPELL-Main We need your urgent support here to publish your ZIM file. Would you be able to help?
I've dropped them an email requesting an updated .tsv. They've assigned Summer students on it, so this could take another couple of weeks.
@Popolechien @SolarSPELL-Main Any news about when we can get updated TSV to update the ZIMs?
We've finally achieved to liaise with SolapSPELL team which understood the issue yesterday and is about to provide an updated TSV.
