You have to look for entries with <type>delete</type> and
<action>revision</action>. This functionality wasn't originally
available when Wikipedia began, so the first ones only appear around 25%
into the dump file.
The parameters are in the <params xml:space="preserve">…</params>
node…
but it looks like they're stored in some internal undocumented format,
and the formats changed over time. You might have to write some code to
parse them :/ You probably want to start by figuring out
DeleteLogFormatter::getParametersForApi() if you want to do this.
If I were you, I would really just use the API for this.
