Tim, In general, the best way to go is to contact the owner and ask for an SQL dump. It'll save far more time and frustration than scraping the wiki. You can then use "mysqlimport" to import the dump into your system. After that, copy the media files over and you should be set. Make sure you install any necessary extensions (like the math writer for rendering LaTeX).
Heavily compressed, the PyMOLWiki dump with media is about 650 MB, so we won't make a habit of giving them away.
