Hi folks,
As we improve the Memento MediaWiki Extension, we also search for information on where and
how it can be used.
I had written a blog post last December talking about its use in helping users of fan
sites avoid spoilers. [1]
Recently, we’ve done a study using anonymized logs for the Wayback Machine and discovered
that there are a potential 168,000 requests per day at the Wayback Machine that could
benefit from use of the Memento MediaWiki Extension, 132,000 of those for Wikipedia alone.
