I'm looking at the Wikipedia data dumps and I wonder if anyone familiar with
the format knows if the "id" field is a constant never-ever changing field?
The data dump I use is:
http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2
And the XML contains something like this:
---------
<page>
<title>AccessibleComputing</title>
<id>10</id>
<redirect />
<revision> ... </revision>
....
</page>
---------
My question is:
Is the "<id>" value constant?
Will the same Wikipedia page always have the same numeric "id" value?
Especially since pages can be deleted, created etc, can one trust that the
mapping from a Wikipedia page name (such as "AccessibleComputing" above) will
always remain the same ( "10" in the example above)?
Thanks
