Hi everyone,
I'd like to find all enwiki articles that were ever marked with the {{hoax}} template. Pages with that template mostly end up being deleted, so they're not available in the public revision dumps https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20150602/.
Hence my question: Is there a way of getting access to the full enwiki revision dump including all deleted pages? I don't know yet which deleted articles I'm interested in, but will only know that after having done a pass over the full revision history.
I know that viewing deleted content is problematic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Viewing_deleted_content (hence I'm sending this request to this internal research list), but I signed an NDA and have access to data on HDFS via stat1002, so there might be a way for me to access that data?
I'm also aware of a list of archived hoaxes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_hoaxes_on_Wikipedia, but many shorter-lived hoaxes that got deleted fast are not included there.
Thanks -- any pointers welcome! Bob
