[07:33:51] can one see automatic SUL account creations in RC? [07:36:18] inductiveload: yes, and I think #wikimedia-unifications:libera.chat relays it [07:37:03] for example, I don't see https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Sandeepkushwaha65 being created [07:37:18] oh, RC not IRC [07:38:40] Yeah, I don't think autocreation shows up in RecentChanges [07:38:47] it's in https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=newusers&user=&page=&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%5B%5D=newusers though [07:40:04] ok, cool, thanks ^_^ [13:47:04] hi! i'm experimenting with the ways Wikimedia archives their websites. what i'm exploring is a way to reorganize the dumps so that they can be made incremental - instead of making them article oriented, make them changeset-oriented and then mirroring them would be easier. i understand that it's probably much more complex than i imagine, which is why i'm looking for guidance that would help [13:47:07] me understand first. do you know where's the code running the backups and how to get in touch with people maintaining it? [13:47:34] apergos: ^ [13:48:09] (later, meeting) [13:50:13] and meeting is done [13:50:41] I am the person currently maintaining the SQL/XML dumps, if those are the ones that interest you [13:51:36] there are sorta-kinda-incrementals that we generate every day, which include all new page revisions since the previous file from the day before, but these don't account for moves and deletions, which woul dbe a hard requirement for true incrementals [13:52:03] let me point you to two sets of docs which likely have more info than you want but hopefully it's not organized too badly [13:52:33] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/SQL/XML_Dumps for devs [13:52:49] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps for endusers [13:53:05] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Dumps for deployers [13:53:28] d33tah: and I'm about to disappear into another meeting but leave questions here, I'll try to get back to them when there's a break [14:39:04] apergos: thanks! i'll ingest that knowledge and get back to you if I have any next questions [14:39:41] sounds great!
