Unavailable `/mwiki/index.php` page

[b0ae989c]

It seems CppRef has turned to DuckDuckGo for searching, and the page https://en.cppreference.com/mwiki/index.php is no longer available. Should we update the build target source and remove the following step?

cppreference-doc/Makefile

Line 258 in be3ce3c

./export.py --url=https://en.cppreference.com/mwiki reference/cppreference-export-ns0,4,8,10.xml 0 4 8 10

I have no idea what that's for, I'll take a look.

I observe the same problem

Actually I'm currently working on that. There seem to be multiple issues caused by the current read-only mode of the site. I'll have some fixes hopefully later this week (along with a new release).

I fixed most of the issues but missed some links for images that currently 404 on the main site, which wget didn't adjust (because it couldn't download the files). So the current master commit is bad, although one would need to manually copy images from a previous release anyway.

I'll get to that the next few days...
