What would be the best way to extract conversations made on article or user talk spaces?
If someone could point me towards the XML dump to be used for this or a table in the database that can give me the text...
I'm interested in analyzing user conversations and link that to the probability of a user getting blocked in the future...
The dump you need is, for example for simplewiki, https://dumps.wikimedia.org/simplewiki/20181001/. You want the sets that have the full revision history to recreate conversations. When you go through it you can filter down to just the Talk and User_talk namespaces.
yes, i was able to figure out that i need the xml dump of pages-revision-meta-history.
Thanks a ton for your replies @Milimetric (WMF) !
