Lost essays and articles from ChildWiki - Has anyone saved something?

ChildWiki seems to have unannouncedly shut down in the fall of 2017, with the last archive being from November. Unfortunately, the various web archives only have a vastly incomplete coverage of it.

Pages that have never been captured by the various web archives include "Essay:Why can't you just wait?", "Zero tolerance", "Costs and benefits of having children", all of which were linked from the ChildWiki main page as of September 2015.

Unfortunately, ChildWiki did not have the foresight to provide wiki exports like Newgon does. However, the essays were on the wiki for more than two years. During that time, there is a chance that someone has saved them.

If you have saved something from ChildWiki, please consider posting it here. Thank you.

https://archive.ph/http://childwiki.org/* appears to mention a few essays, but most of the entries are just copied Newgon articles.

Missing coverage

Sadly, the coverage is vastly incomplete. The three pages I mentioned were original and don't exist on Newgon.
