Hi Analytics People,

The Wikimedia Analytics Team is pleased to announce the release of the most complete dataset we have to date to analyze content and contributors metadata: Mediawiki History [1] [2].

Data is in TSV format, released monthly around the 3rd of the month usually, and every new release contains the full history of metadata.

The dataset contains an enhanced [3] and historified [4] version of user, page and revision metadata and serves as a base to Wiksitats API on edits, users and pages [5] [6].

We hope you will have as much fun playing with the data as we have building it, and we're eager to hear from you [7], whether for issues, ideas or usage of the data.

Analytically yours,

--

[3] Many pre-computed fields are present in the dataset, from edit-counts by user and page to reverts and reverted information, as well as time between events.
[4] As accurate as possible historical usernames and page-titles (as well as user-groups and blocks) is available in addition to current values, and are provided in a denormalized way to every event of the dataset.
