Re: [Xmldatadumps-l] Category pages in enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml

Hi, pages-articles does contain the text of category pages, so you could recreate the category structure from it, but you would have to parse the wikimarkup, if you want to find out parent categories. That is, if you are okay with ignoring categories added through templates. Another option is to use categorylinks.sql, which contains links between pageids and categories. That means you would need to read page.sql too. The normal way to use .sql files is to import them into a (My)SQL database, but you can also parse them (I wrote my own parser for them in .Net [1]).
