Adam,

there's a related proposal to expose logs and build real-time visualizations of all server-side events emitted by MW, I'm copying Ori as he may be able to give you some pointers/updates.

Keep in mind that merge conflicts may not answer questions related to (post-edit) reverts or edit wars.

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. _______________________________________________ Analytics mailing list Analytics@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/analytics
