This wouldn't include images, but it would be much easier than doing everything manually, and it would be more-or-less cleaner than that too.

What if I were to tell you that Wikia could sue us for copyright if we moved? Because they can.

The cons outweigh the pros. They haven't really fucked us over yet with any of their features, to be honest. And besides, I copied pages over into new pages for this wiki from the old wiki, which was a tenth of the size. It took weeks. This wiki would take months to replicate, never mind updates.
