Build a new dataset of dumps of the ~4800 wikis (Salt/Nate) (May take more than a week to generate all the new dumps)

Build a msgwall version of the build_edit_weeks file from the anon_edits paper (Nate)

Attempt to obtain a good dump for each of these wikis. See CommunityData:Wikia Dumps for information.

- This may depend on mapping between the urls in the tsv file and the dumps. Consider using HTTP redirects from the url under <siteinfo>.

Modify Wikiq to give an error message if the closing </mediawiki> tag is missing.
