by Ariel Glenn WMF 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

I'm happy to announce that the Academic Computer Club of Umeå University in Sweden is now offering for download the last 5 XML/sql dumps, as well as a mirror of 'other' datasets. Check the current mirror list [1] for more information, or go directly to download: http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/wikimedia.org/dumps/ http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/wikimedia.org/other/ Rsync is also available. Happy downloading! Ariel [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mirroring_Wikimedia_project_XML_dumps#Curre…

no need to panic (wikidatawiki run)

This run was taking a long time to complete (see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T153345). The underlying problem has been fixed and the last steps are running manually right now as we play catch-up. Expect the run to show up as completed late today or early tomorrow (UTC time). Ariel

Thanks for doing this. I would rather have all of the table dumps together. I parse the name so order of precedence isn’t an issue for me. --Scott On 12/9/16, 7:00 AM, "Xmldatadumps-l on behalf of xmldatadumps-l-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org" <xmldatadumps-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org on behalf of xmldatadumps-l-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org> wrote: Send Xmldatadumps-l mailing list submissions to xmldatadumps-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/xmldatadumps-l or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to xmldatadumps-l-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org You can reach the person managing the list at xmldatadumps-l-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Xmldatadumps-l digest..."

Wikipedia page IDs
by Renato Stoffalette Joao 04 Dec '16

Hi all. Firstly, apologies for eventual duplicates or posting the question in the wrong mailing list. Secondly, could anybody kindly explain to me if some Wikipedia pages changed their IDs from the past ? Or if so point to me where this might be documented ? I have Wikipedia pages-articles XML dumps from the years 2006 and 2008 and when I was parsing those dumps I ran across some situations such as the following one. In the dumps from 2006 and 2008 I found that the South Africa page has the ID 68854, while in the most current Wikipedia pages-articles XML dump (i.e. 2016) the same article has the ID 17416221. I am trying to match some Wiki pages by IDs across time, but the example above is not helping. Much appreciated in advance for any help. -- Renato Stoffalette Joao - PhD Student - L3S Research Center / Leibniz Uni. 15th Floor, Room:1519 Appelstraße 9a 30167 Hannover, Germany +49.511.762-17759
