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.
