If you're using WMF sites, you'll want to download database dumps instead. See http://dumps.wikimedia.org/.

Hi guys,

We are working in an analyzer to gather the activity from MediaWiki sites using the cool MediaWiki API.

Right now the idea is to get a list of wiki pages using:

"action=query&list=allpages&aplimit=500"

and then for each page get all revisions with:

action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Main%20Page&rvlimit=500

so we have all revisions activity (pretty similar to having all commits to source code) for a MediaWiki site.

We are doing it as Open Source in:

https://github.com/MetricsGrimoire/MediaWikiAnalysis

Any comments are welcomed!

After having all the data we plan to use:

https://github.com/VizGrimoire/VizGrimoireR

for data analysis (SQL+R) combination

and for doing the viz:

https://github.com/VizGrimoire/VizGrimoireJS

Kudos to Sumana Harihareswara for pointing me to this list!

Cheers

Sounds like an interesting project. I am working on something similar that will start with the most recent dump and do API queries to stay up to date. Perhaps we can collaborate? I created https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWikiAnalysis as a starting point for further on-wiki discussion, if you're interested. Thanks.
