Dear comrades,
I'm hoping to provide a data stream and archival data for edit conflict events on *.wikipedias. The short-term goal is to help support further research into heuristic reconstruction of the article revision graph, see this paper presented by Jianmin Wu (author CC'ed here):
http://opensym.org/wsos2013/proceedings/p0204-wu.pdf
The only marker I have found so far is, unfortunately, a message emitted using wfDebug. Do we have an archive of production debug logs, and what is the process I would follow for proposing a historical experiment or an ongoing filter using this data?
For anyone who's curious, I think the main string I'm looking for is "Keeping edit conflict, failed merge.", but it would be worthwhile to analyze logging from every code path within conflict resolution.
