Best way to do this is to directly submit the site in Internet Archiver.

In this page Manual:Robots.txt#Allow indexing of raw pages by the Internet Archiver it is indicated that the raw wikitext of pages can be archived with Internet Archiver.

My question is - which type of sites would want to do this? In other words, does any specific type of MediaWiki site get benefited (e.g. SEO or ranking) from using this process?

Thank you everyone. This is a really beautiful community.

People would do this if they want their site saved for posterity. There's no SEO benefit of doing so.

Realistically, even with that, its unlikely that internet archiver would archive the raw wikitext unless people were linking directly to it.

Thank you so much. I understood.
