ok this is just a character encoding issue, easy to fix.

of course, I was thinking of giving arguments to the bot for the namespaces
to backup instead of setting it in the config file :

./streetwikibot.pl 10,102

would backup the Template and Property namespaces.

no problem :)  I can add a limit in the config file.

At some point, I guess the wikis will be too big to backup in a single

This shouldn't be difficult to implement, I can probably get the last
modified date of the pages, store it in a file and compare before fetching
the pages.
