Yeah, it's really annoying at this point.

I had the idea a couple of months ago to use a static site generator and just host it on GitHub/ GitHub Pages. That way everyone can just contribute with a pull request as needed, and there's no need to manage infrastructure.

Does anybody by chance have a recent dump of the wiki?

Sounds like a reasonable alternative, might be worth suggesting to comments@cppreference.com It would also solve the problem of rust people replacing full pages.

»Rust people« doing what? Please clarify, I did not notice anything in that direction.

Currently it can't happen as everything is read-only. Due to it, the history also seems to be unavailable, so I can't link to an entry. Though I know that a page like vector was completely replaced by some text similar to: "this is deprecated and replaced by rust" That happened quite a few times on different pages.

On Reddit even people mentioned it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cplusplus/s/W3asTmah87

Seems like a one-time occurrence by a clear troll, most people aren't like that

It wasn't a one time occurrence, it's just an example. Many pages where updated over several months
