declaration of element contributor in the DTD is not complete
The declaration of element contributor does not include the case where there is no id nor ip, and instead contributor has "deleted" as an attribute. I came across one instance where neither id nor ip were present.

Getting full list of pages
The SQL select page_title from wiki_page where page_namespace=0 was from 2007 and does not work now.
 * select page_title from page where page_namespace=0 -- returns blobs.
 * However, this works for me -- select CONVERT(page_title using utf8) from `page` where page_namespace=0
