So I do not lose this information[edit]
Number of page revisions of Wikipedia:Sandbox[edit]
I have been trying to find the number of revisions made to the Sandbox. I have tried using X!'s tool but there are to many revisions for it to load using this tool. Any help as to what this number is or how to find it is greatly appreciated. Sumsum2010·T·C 00:32, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
- That's hard to say, because the sandbox was moved several times and the history is kept by page_id, not by title. But some info I've manager to to dig out:
Current title Sandbox during Revisions Wikipedia:Sandbox March 2008 – present 330216 Wikipedia:Sandbox/Archive2 January 2008 – March 2008 33899 Wikipedia:Sandbox/Archive July 2005 – January 2008 326338 Wikipedia:Sandbox/History November 2004 – July 2005 32052 Wikipedia:Historical archive/Sandbox June 2004 – November 2004 20456
- In general, to find the number of revisions in a page, go to the page history and find the difference between the revision with the lowest revision ID (which is usually the earliest revision or the first edit by Conversion script, but see below), and the current one. There will be a line showing the number of intermediate revisions; add two to that number and you can find out the number of revisions in a page. For example, at the time of writing, this page had 70,393 revisions. This trick will work in 99.999% of cases, but it does not work at Wikipedia:Historical archive/Sandbox because the revision ID's are out of order. Before Wikipedia was upgraded to MediaWiki 1.5 in late June 2005, if a revision was deleted and then undeleted, it would get a new ID number as if it was a brand new revision. Most of the revisions at Wikipedia:Historical archive/Sandbox were deleted in 2004 and undeleted in September and October 2007 (see the deletion logs of "Sandbox2" and "full cat litter box" and note that the linked deletion logs only go back to December 2004). IIRC, one of the old sandbox pages contained some history from June to August 2004 and October to November 2004, and the other one contained history from August 2004 to October 2004, so the history of the earliest sandbox archive page is rather disjointed! Also see Wikipedia:Database reports/Pages with the most revisions. Graham87 02:30, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you very much! After looking at the web address for the diffs. this solution makes a lot of sense to me.Sumsum2010·T·C 04:08, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
