Simple Wikipedia is a smaller wiki with 180,000+ pages and 90,000+ images. The text version can be setup in less than 5 minutes, using only 200 MB of disk space. The images version is a little larger: it needs 30 minutes of download time and 2 GB of space.

It will overwrite the copy you imported. This ensures that all the images should match up with the pages: i.e.: a later wiki (for example, 2017-01-02) may reference new images that were not present at the time of 2015-04-06. If you want a later version of Simple Wikipedia, simply reimport it again. Note the following about updating your wiki:</span>
<ul>
<li>
<spanclass="reference-text">Images will still show if the page hasn't changed the image. For example, if you are viewing a page from 2017-01-02 but no new images have been added or modified, then the page will look the same.</span>
</li>
<li>
<spanclass="reference-text">Images will not show, if the page has added new images or changed existing ones. For example, if the 2015-04-06 page had an Image called "Wiki_2015.png" but the 2017-01-02 version changed this to "Wiki_2017.png" then the "Wiki_2015.png" would not appear (since it wasn't known at the time of 2015-04-06)</span>
