Hi,
I'm analyzing the featured article nomination process for a research project, and I'm trying to access the full wiki source of past archives. However, archived articles are compacted in specially coded format; apparently MediaWiki expands them automatically for viewing.
To understand what I mean, please go to, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Featured_ log/March_2005
If I click on any specific article, then view its associated "edit" link, I get that article's wiki source, which is what I want. However, if I want to see the wiki source of all the March 2005 articles at one shot, I would normally click "edit this page". But instead this gives me a specially coded source in the format of:
<< {{Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/History of Cape Colony from 1870 to 1899}} {{Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Comet Hyakutake}} {{Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Brian Close}} {{Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/The Country Wife}} {{Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Carl G. Fisher}}
I hope I've clearly explained my difficulty. (I'll try to clarify further if necessary.) Could anyone please tell me how to view the wiki source of an entire month's archive, rather than article by article?
Thanks, Chitu User:cokoli
