Dear All,
Many thanks for all your work with Wikipedia, we use it daily for various tasks and in our research on Wikipedia. ("we" = a subset of a research group of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences)
I just managed to wget the history dump enwiki-20100130-pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 a week ago, and I would like to combine this with status information about users. Do you happen to know if the status (admin, steward, bot, etc.) of all users has been logged for enwiki? In what way would this be available for download and for non-profit basic research?
Thanks, Illes
You need to download user_groups.sql.gz The left value of the pair is the <id> entry in <contributor> The right one, the goup he belongs to.
Note however that you can't have a complete enwiki-20100130-pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 from a week ago, since it hasn't finished yet. Most likely, your dump is incomplete (you can resume it).
