Hi,

I have the xml dump of wikipedia. I am trying to locate tables. And a few tables that I found have their column names specified in templates.

Can someone tell me where in the XML file do I look for templates ?

I have the file "pages-articles.xml.bz2 6.1 GB" downloaded from http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20100916/ which says it contains the templates.

Thanks Chandra Sekhar

Templates are in the template namespace, which means, they will begin by Template: {{table}} will include the content of [[Template:Table]] {{Wikipedia:table}} will include the content of [[Wikipedia:Table]] {{:table}} will include the content of [[Table]]
