As of recent versions of MediaWiki (from around end of 2008) it is possible for the text, comment and/or contributor of a revision to be completely deleted for legal reasons (copyright infringement, libel, etc). This is mentioned in more detail here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bitfields_for_rev_deleted An example of a revision with a deleted contributor in the 2009-03-30 dump of Simple English Wikipedia looks like this: <revision> <id>1460119</id> <timestamp>2009-03-30T11:34:51Z</timestamp> <contributor deleted="deleted" /> <comment>Replaced content with 'Majorly is heaps shit'</comment> <text xml:space="preserve">Majorly is heaps shit</text> </revision> When mwdumper encounters the contributor element <contributor deleted="deleted" /> it chokes on it. So it looks like the code needs to be fixed to be able to handle deleted contributors. Question is, what should be put in place of the contributor name? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
