You can download a copy of Wikipedia here: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/kiwix/zim/wikipedia/
I highly recommend it (although wait until their servers aren't overloaded) especially if you can fit a copy on a phone or laptop, so you always have access to whatever article you need, even on the go and when you don't have internet access.
Use Kiwix to parse and search the file.
Brief technical writeup after a similar event in 2009 when Michael Jackson died: https://wikitech-static.wikimedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson_e...
Also, in case anyone is inspired, Wikimedia Foundation happens to have a SRE position open: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jobs/7972965
I knew it, Dolly Parton was the only thing keeping Wikipedia going! :(
