Problem

On the main page of the Zim version of Wikisource , there is a section called Explore Wikisource on the bottom. On the actual Wikisource website, all the text in that section are clickable links. On the Kiwix copy, these are not clickable and the "Portal:" pages (see example) as well as the "Category:" pages (example) are not present. This is a problem because it makes the archive hard to navigate, as there is no available index of all books on the Zim archive.

Solution

Rearchive Wikisouce, but time also archive all pages that have the "Portal:" prefix (example page) and the "Wikisource:" prefix (example page). This would make the "Subject index" on Explore Wikisource clickable and make it possible to access all the content in an easy and accessible way, as those two prefixes categorize all the content in the library.

Extra Details

• Affected site: Wikisource
• This affects by the "Picture" and "Non picture" versions of the site
• Viewed on the web and desktop clients
• The "Portal:" and "Wikisource:" pages are different than the "Category:" pages in that they seem to be made for the purposes of making it easier for the user to navigate the site.

@kelson42 is this something we can / want to enhance in mwoffliner? Should I open a ticket there?
