errrrrrrrrk. Extracting raw wiki-markup and trying to use it? Not the greatest of idea. The only true parser of that language is mediawiki. Doing it yourself is a recipe for a massive headache.

I guess they had some other wikis they want to get data from but the "main" worldwide wikipedia site, that everyone thinks of as wikipedia makes the data freely downloadable, and I've downloaded it before.
