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. [2]
