Hey All - I would like to know how to download as a file all the cast and crew info about a specific title I am interested in. I am aware of the "Special:Statistics" way to dowload a dump. But this does not seem to be available for all titles. for eg. https://pose-fx.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Statistics

So my questions are:

1. How do I download cast and crew information in cases where there is no download link?

2. Even if available, most of the times, these xml files are practically unreadable because of their huge file size. All I need are just cast and crew, so just a few kB worth of info.

3. Is it ok to use python and scrape this data from a wiki page that has this data?
