Are you aware of Wikidata? I don't have a lot of familiarity with it, only that some (a lot?) of the programmer types who were drawn to Wikipedia in its infancy have shifted their focus to Wikidata nowadays. As I understand it, Wikidata is meant to be the data source behind those tables that you're scraping.
(Forgive me if you're already involved with Wikidata and one of your primary uses for scraping is in pursuit of migrating content to Wikidata.)
