You might also get a history of user rights through MediaWiki API. For a documentation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php .
For a list of stewards at a given time you would have to query Meta-Wiki: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=logevents&letype=gblrights&lelimit=5000(although it might just be easier to look at the human readable lists at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stewards) For the sysops and other rights you would have to query and filter the user rights logs of the English Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=logevents&letype=rights&lelimit=5000 Best regards, Bence Damokos On 9 March 2010 11:01, Liangent <liang...@gmail.com> wrote: > If you want a history, maybe you can try: > > http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20100116/enwiki-20100116-pages-logging.xml.gz > and > > http://download.wikimedia.org/metawiki/20100306/metawiki-20100306-pages-logging.xml.gz > > On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 12:53 PM, Liangent <liang...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20100116/enwiki-20100116-user_groups.sql.gz > > But the latest dump seems broken and I don't know why. > > > > On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 5:49 AM, Farkas, Illes <f...@elte.hu> wrote: > >> Dear All, > >> > >> Many thanks for all your work with Wikipedia, we use it daily for > various > >> tasks and in our research on Wikipedia. > >> ("we" = a subset of a research group of the Hungarian Academy of > Sciences) > >> > >> I just managed to wget the history > >> dump enwiki-20100130-pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 a week ago, and I would > like > >> to combine this with status information about users.
