No need

Install the free offline reader software from here

https://kiwix.org/en/

Then grab what content you want from https://dumps.wikimedia.org/kiwix/zim/

Here’s English Wikipedia, with pictures from 2024 https://dumps.wikimedia.org/kiwix/zim/wikipedia/wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2024-01.zim

names with maxi have all the pictures names with mini few pictures and abridged content names with nopic have no pictures and abridged content

if it says science or basketball, it’s just things flagged as science or things flagged as basketball.

Got my snapshot from Jan.

You need an offline viewer. That’s a snap /flat hub install. Kiwix I believe
