Next Steps (June 13th)

• 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)

• Create list of criteria to identify wikis we want to use in this study (Sneha)

Next Steps (June 6th)

• Identify list of Wikis we will analyze from the tsv file.

• 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.

• Sneha to take a look althistory data from Nate.

• Nate will write a version of build_edit_weeks for the message wall project
