It would be a pretty massive undertaking, tbh, but not entirely impossible. I'd have to make use of the export/import function to carry existing pages on WoWWiki over to whatever site you build - partially beause it preserves all the changes made since the page's creation (making it easy to find vanilla versions) and also because it preserves editing history, which is required.

Looks-wise, I'd go ahead and create the site on your end. You'll want to keep it distinct and separate from WoWWiki's overall theme - of course, you could always vanilla-theme it. Building that out sholdn't require any resources from WoWWiki. Then what we can do from there is do batches of pages at a time rather than carrying over all ~100k pages. Images don't carry over during the process and have to be done manually, which is another good reason to do it in batches.

We can see what templates, etc. are needed as it progresses.
