Help:Toolforge/Dumps
This page contains information about dumps and Toolforge
Dumps generated by Wikimedia projects
Toolforge has access to a directory storing the dumps generated by Wikimedia projects: public Wikimedia datasets.
Recent dumps
The most recent two dumps can be found in:
/public/dumps/public
This directory is read-only, but you can copy the files to your tool's home directory if necessary. Ideally you can find (or build!) a library that can be used to read data from the dumps without decompressing them. See meta:Data dumps/Other tools for some examples.
Older dumps
- Can be manually downloaded from the Wikimedia downloads server, or from mirrors which may have better bandwidth.
/public/dumps/pagecounts-rawcontains some years of the pagecount/projectcount data.
