wikipedia_tr_all_novid_2019-04.zim is not browsable #3

Hi, First of all thank you for developing and providing this tool. I use Zimserver python module to serve zim archive in localhost. I noticed that wikipedia_tr_all_novid_2019-04.zim wouldn't render the pages, I just see blurry empty pages. I also tried other tools such as web-archives and kiwix but none of them worked.

How can I create zim archive of https://tr.wikipedia.org by myself? I also want to inform maintainers of https://download.kiwix.org/zim about the issue.

@trappedinspacetime Thank you for your report. It is not clear what is exactly the problem ia as you use a software which is not ours to read the ZIM file: Zimserver and I don't know exactly which page you try to open. I think you should report the problem there (too).

That said we have just a new ZIM files of Wikipedia in Turkish, maybe the problem was in the ZIM file itself. You can see it live served by kiwix-serve here http://library.kiwix.org/wikipedia_tr_all_novid_2019-06/. I don't see the problem you report (anymore?). You can download the file from https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia/.

We don't advise people to create there own ZIM files of Wikipedia. That is why we distribute ZIM files too. These ZIM files are created with a tool called MWoffliner https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner.

Please reopen the ticket if you still have the same problem. If you have any other problem, a new ticket would be welcome.
