00:34:17<pabs>xml dumps are suitable for bulk importing more than looking at single pages, and require lots of parsing :)

04:16:12<BlankEclair>fair :p
04:18:27<@JAA>And we can't do XML dumps for very old MediaWikis, right?
04:18:44<@JAA>Or at least not with revision history.
04:20:36<BlankEclair>how old lol
04:20:46<BlankEclair>but worst case scenario, xml dump of the current revision
04:37:34<@JAA>Very old, but there are still lots of ancient MediaWikis out there.
04:39:32<@JAA>(Don't pay attention to the AT wiki version, thank you.)
04:55:42<BlankEclair>don't forget about http://fileformat.archiveteam.org/index.php/Special:Version :)
04:56:50<@JAA>Shhh
04:57:15<BlankEclair>any phase II wikis out there? xD
05:11:22<@arkiver>pabs: yes
05:12:56<pabs>fileformat is comparatively new :)
05:13:12<pabs>I've seen 1.15 and earlier before
05:15:23<pabs>161 URLs that don't qualify for --xmlrevisions/--xmlapiexport and thus could be super ancient https://transfer.archivete.am/PgRY8/wikibot-commands-ancient-mediawikis.txt
05:15:23<eggdrop>inline (for browser viewing): https://transfer.archivete.am/inline/PgRY8/wikibot-commands-ancient-mediawikis.txt
05:15:55<pabs>some look like static HTML
