Hi! Thank you for your contribution :3

The commit looks alright, but I want to wait for the database’s structure to be stable before enabling this feature.
Also, I think that the database should not be converted into XML on-the-fly. This could put a lot of strain onto the server as the db gets bigger.
We should rather generate an XML dump periodically and make that downloadable.

PS: This project has not been announced publicly yet, please try to keep it that way until the official announcement at Wikimania 2026.
Thank you :)
