Hi,
I recently came across several articles from the English Wikipedia for which the (page)ids
in the dumps apparently have changed over time. E.g., in a dump from April 2011 as well as
in another one from January 2012, the article "Marseille" had the id 71486,
while the article with the same name currently (according to the MediaWiki API as well as
in the May 2014 dump) has the id 40888948. Does anybody have an idea how this might have
happened and whether this is a frequent phenomenon?
Thanks,
Johannes
