Hi guys!

I want to fetch the "user" table Wikipedia has. I know Wikipedia limits the fields we can view but the ones open are just fine for me.

I understood such large queries will not work in "QUARRY" and also when looking in the dumps I could not find any SQL or XML dump of that table.

Any help you might have will be appreciated!

Indeed I don't believe there is a dump of this information which, it seems to me, is an oversight. So I've created a task: T181720

Looks like this was already requested a long time ago. I've merged my ticket with the old one: T51132

Thank you so much!

You think this is something that would be done anytime soon? As a part of my research, I'm trying to have some insights on Wikipedia users which would benefit the community and it's a bit urgent.

I might be able to help you get a one time dump of the current user table. Could you tell me more about the study?

If you're planning to share the results with the community, I recommend starting up a project page at m:R:New project.  :)

Sure! thanks about that.

I'll try to write you an email soon :)
