<p>
For example, if today's date is 2019-02-15, and you open en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events/2019_February_15 in XOWA, it will not show correctly
</p>
<p>
This is because Wikipedia has bots which will automatically create pages for the current / next day. In contrast, XOWA snapshots whatever pages were in the Wikipedia dump. So a 2019-02 dump will only have pages up to 2019-02-01, and not 2019-02-15. XOWA does not reproduce the bot logic for automaticaly creating new pages.
