Have you ever tried to do this? It's not as easy as you are making it
sound, at least it wasn't as of a few years ago, because Mediawiki is
tightly coupled to the specific database structure it uses.
You don't need to interact with the database of Wikipedia itself. You can
use the MediaWiki API which is quite stable and enough for this task. I
don't speak about a complete mirror, i speak about a filtered _view_ for
Wikipedia. You type in "http://www.mysavewiki.com/Banana"; and the server
delivers the recently approved and cached version of the article from
Wikipedia if "Banana" is whitelisted.
Are you talking about "remote loading"
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks#Remote_loading)?
That's a good way to get your IP address banned.
No. I don't talk about remote loading. I talk about caching. The server
hosts the current version itself and only fetches it for an manual
update. To inform the host that a new version of page exists it could
listen to the recent changes on the IRC channel. If it would do remote
loading then you would also accept temporary vandalism which isn't
desired like remote loading itself isn't desired.
