My fault, I was just thinking about the performance comparisons that robla showcased at the last metrics meeting. I guess that was pretty specific and didn't include what Yury is looking for, right? On Jun 24, 2013 10:21 AM, "Brad Jorsch (Anomie)" <bjorsch(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

If you want to look at the current status of template usage, you could compare the templatelinks tables between wikis. Do you have a specific question in mind? If you are hoping to look at historical trends, I'd be interested in helping you generate a dataset from the XML dumps. I've been working on a library[1] that provides a nice, iterable, pythonic strategy for processing dumps that would let you do some parsing to extract templates. You'd need to write an island grammar[2] to do that accurately. I've done that a few times to serve different needs, so I should be able to help with that too. 1. https://bitbucket.org/halfak/mediawiki-utilities 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_grammar -Aaron On Tue, Mar 11, 2014 at 8:33 AM, Yury Katkov <katkov.juriy(a)gmail.com> wrote:
