Dear All,

Many thanks for all your work with Wikipedia, we use it daily for various tasks and in our research on Wikipedia. ("we" = a subset of a research group of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences)

I just managed to wget the history dump enwiki-20100130-pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 a week ago, and I would like to combine this with status information about users. Do you happen to know if the status (admin, steward, bot, etc.) of all users has been logged for enwiki? In what way would this be available for download and for non-profit basic research?

Thanks, Illes

You need to download user_groups.sql.gz The left value of the pair is the <id> entry in <contributor> The right one, the goup he belongs to.

Note however that you can't have a complete enwiki-20100130-pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 from a week ago, since it hasn't finished yet. Most likely, your dump is incomplete (you can resume it).

Indeed. It's not scheduled to finish until 2010-03-13 12:03:56 ( UTC ) and will likely take a bit longer as I'm seeing the revs/sec drop lower by about .01 every 5 minutes

The deviation isn't much but when were talking about millions of revisions that starts adding up.

Almost there ...

You might also get a history of user rights through MediaWiki API. For a documentation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php .

For a list of stewards at a given time you would have to query Meta-Wiki: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=logevents&lety... it might just be easier to look at the human readable lists at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stewards)

For the sysops and other rights you would have to query and filter the user rights logs of the English Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=logevents&letype...

But the latest dump seems broken and I don't know why.

Hi,

I think that that is done on the databases on the toolserver instead of the dumps.

I don't know if here is the space to ask this. I heard there are some web where people voluntarily help on querying data list from Wikipedia dump and solve statistic problem.

May I ask is it still exist? If so, how can i find it?

best,

Zeyi
