download dumps of all language Wikipedias, which would be huge.
I have written a script which goes through the API, but I am wondering how
often it is acceptable for me to query the API. Assuming I do not run
parallel queries, do I need to wait between each query? If so, how long?
Crawling all the Wikipedias is not an easy task either. Probably,
toolserver.org would be more suitable. What data do you need, exactly?
