The confirmation email I received says "Someone, probably you, from IP address 172.68.66.13, has registered an account". This is not the IP address I was connecting from. This is a CloudFlare IP address.

Hi. I am trying to make Rosetta Code into a ZIM archive so people who don't have reliable internet can use the site. I think it would be a good addition to the Kiwix projects archives as well, so once it works I will try and add it there.
Its actually meant to be easy to do especially for Media Wiki sites like Rosetta code, because of the tool mwoffliner. However the version of Media Wiki is too old, so its not compatible. Ive checked and its not the tool itself, i cant find a reliable way to get the data which is low enough on traffic and covers all the pages, its not very practical.
I would argue this causes other issues because version 1.26 which RC uses is 6 years out of date.
The mwoffliner tool only requires version 1.27 or greater which is still 5 years ago, so backwards compatibility is usually not an issue.
I think this effort will benefit students learning programming in places where internet is unreliable or not available.
Just need a version update for this to work, i am happy to do the rest.
