[13:25:54] hi guys [13:26:17] i am currently analyzing Wikipedia and I am very interested in the edit history statistics [13:26:26] is it a way to get the data that http://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/articleinfo uses [13:26:26] ? [13:26:31] *is there [13:29:54] Not now. [13:31:20] ok, thanks a lot [13:56:10] is there a way to get a list of all edits (without the text, only date and size) (without getting the huge meta-pages-history? [14:41:55] PheonyX, can you elaborate? [15:38:08] Cyberpower678, sorry I have been AFK [15:38:31] I was wandering what is the raw data that xlabs uses to create the edit histograms [15:39:02] but realized that you are working with: enwiki-*-stub-meta-history.xml.gz [15:39:06] It makes use of the DBs [15:39:12] ohh ok [15:39:27] and I guess I don't have access to these DBs? [15:39:54] Do you have a tool labs account? [15:40:09] No [15:40:22] There's your answer. [15:40:55] I see [15:41:43] theopolisme, you seem to be leaving and joining this channel constantly. Can I help you? [15:42:08] The reason I was looking into this is because I am trying to find the most important articles on Wikipedia and thought that integrating a monthly edit counts would be a nice feature to have. [15:42:27] (where important is open for interpretation, but definitely does not mean popular) [15:43:25] I kinda of get what you're saying but my plate is too full right now. [15:43:41] Thanks a lot for your help, Cyberpower678. Definitely the xtools/articleinfo is a golden mine from my perspective. So very nice work! [15:43:48] Yes, I understand [15:44:15] PheonyX, that tool is awaiting a rewrite. [15:45:03] Is anyone already working on rewriting it? [15:45:29] Right now, I'm soloing it. I'm rewriting the edit counter right now. [15:46:28] I didn't understand exactly, is xtools developed by a company or by OSS developers (the project itself I presume is not open-sourced)? [15:47:49] Like if I want to contribute, would I be able to do it? [15:48:34] xtools is open source. But contributions from other users would likely be in vein since the code is being scrapped. [15:48:36] (however, this can happen only after I finish my master project which is currently due in 5 weeks) [15:49:30] Ok, I see [15:50:53] I found the repo just now
