==Watch a category of articles== 2010 is election year in Sweden, so I want to keep an eye on all articles in category:Swedish politicians, in recursive levels.
I now do this on a weekly basis, using CatScan, http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/CategoryIntersect.php
I set wiki = sv.wikipedia.org search in category = svenska politiker with depth = 7 for changes in last 168 hours (= 7 x 24 = one week) save as CSV format
I then filter the output using the UNIX command line awk '$1==0 {print $2}'|sort|uniq -c|sort -nr
to get a listing of which articles got the most edits.
It would be nice to intersect this search with category:Living people, so dead politicians are filtered out.
Are there already any smarter tools to do this?
Sorted by date, with intersection: http://toolserver.org/~magnus/catscan_rewrite.php?language=sv&depth=7&categories=Svenska+politiker%0D%0ALevande+personer&after=20091026&sortby=date&sortorder=descending
