Hi all,
I want to crawl around 800.000 flagged revisions from the German
Wikipedia, in order to make a dump containing only flagged revisions.
For this, I obviously need to spider Wikipedia.
What are the limits (rate!) here, what UA should I use and what
caveats do I have to take care of?
Thanks,
Marco
PS: I already have a revisions list, created with the Toolserver. I
used the following query: "select fp_stable,fp_page_id from
flaggedpages where fp_reviewed=1;". Is it correct this one gives me a
list of all articles with flagged revs, fp_stable being the revid of
the most current flagged rev for this article?
Fetch them from the toolserver (there's a tool by duesentrieb for that).
It will catch almost all of them from the toolserver cluster, and make a
request to wikipedia only if needed.
I highly doubt this is "legal" use
for the toolserver, and I pretty
much guess that 800k revisions to fetch would be a huge resource load.
Thanks, Marco
PS: CC-ing toolserver list.
