@RavanJAltaie We will have a look, but this ZIM file should never have been published if such big problem. Please secure we don't and that broken ZIM files are removed.

I just restarted recipe in dev, let's see what goes out of this.

Recipe is at https://farm.openzim.org/recipes/mediawiki_en_all/, I just have made a new attempt with MWoffliner 1.16.0.

@benoit74 @Popolechien New version looks OK https://dev.library.kiwix.org/viewer#mediawiki_en_all_2025-07/. Seems ready to publish

The landing page seems pretty useless and it is very disturbing. Shouldn't we create a custom landing page with link to some relevant top-level pages?

Plus we probably miss namespace 12: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents and all its subpages

And many links of namespace 100 are broken because they go through a special page, see e.g. https://dev.library.kiwix.org/viewer#mediawiki_en_all_2025-07/Manual:Contents vs https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Contents (we do have all pages inside the ZIM, just the link is not properly detected)

I've opened required upstream issue: https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner/issues/2528
