I'd like to submit a patch which would allow to use the mediawiki-Parser independent from a database-server. We're developing a wikipedia-offline-reader (http://woc.fslab.de) and we need the mediawiki-parser to generate the installation-package. If we could integrate a small patch (essentially a few special cases with a global variable $wgNoDBMode), then this would make it significantly easier to use our generation-tools.

Created attachment 2998 [details] proposed patch for "noDBmode" This is exactly the patch I just posted as a comment. Sorry, I didn't know about the "attachment" feature ;-)
Ultimately, I don't think this is something we'd ever want to support in the core code. If you're only using a MediaWiki installation to generate the parsed content, then you could maintain the hack locally.
