Dear Platonides,

many many thanks for pointing the dump to us!
This is extremely welcome.  It does not seem so large, so we will start experimenting with it immediately.  I will report back once we get it running, also with some stats on the time the analysis took.
How did you find it?  From download.mediawiki.org, I saw only the interrupted dump in progress; how does one get hold of older dumps?

Yes, I know the distinction between computer-admins and wiki-admins (sysops, bureaucrats, etc).
Who are the latter for wikibooks?

Best,

Luca

Each wiki is one single database.
106,341 total pages (31,167 good).

There's a full enwikibooks dump from 20080712

Don't confuse the wiki's admins (sysops and bureaucrats), which with the
system admins, which are the same for all WMF wikis (Brion, Domas, Tim
Starling...).
