User:Topbanana/Reports/Scripts/Create Link Analysis Database

Overview
The downloadable database dumps of Wikipedia only contain details about current articles and possibly their history. The script below analyses the text of articles available in these database dumps to create a number of tables describing the wikilinks they contain.

The links tables can then be used to carry out further analyses such as identifying Orphaned articles.

Preparing a local Wikipedia database
Firstly, download and install a copy of the free, open-source MySQL database. Version 4.1 contains all of the features required to run the script below and can be downloaded from here.

Now download a dump of the Wikipedia database from here - the 'cur' downloads contain all the information needed by the script below. Unzip the downloaded file - you should end up with a single file with a name ending in ".sql".

To load the contents of this file into MySQL, you will first need to create and use a database:


 * mysql> create database wikipedia;
 * Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec)
 * mysql> use wikipedia;
 * Database changed
 * Database changed

Now the downloaded and unzipped database dump can be entered into your database:


 * mysql> source c:\20040613_cur_table.sql;

The file will take several hours to load. While waiting, log on to wikipedia and improve some articles.

Create required subscripts
The script below makes use of four other scripts to perform repetitive tasks. You will need to create and save these - instructions on how to do this can be found on each of these pages:


 * extract_links.sql
 * extract_nowiki.sql
 * extract_math.sql
 * extract_HTML_comment.sql

The script below expects to find these in the directory "C:\" - if you save them to a different location, you will need to update your copy of the script accordingly. The lines you will need to modify all begin with the word "SOURCE".

What the script does
Once you have completed these steps script below can be cut and paste into your mysql client window. It will take about 12 hours to run on a modern desktop PC and require about 2 GB of disk space.

The script first copies relevant articles from the 'cur' table (created by the database dump file you downloaded) into a new table 'art'. This cuts down the amount of work the script needs to do later, making it faster. It also ensures that only one article exists with any given title. Articles are marked as being 'stubs', 'redirects', 'disambiguation pages' or, if they are none of these, just plain 'articles'.

Next, the text of articles in the 'art' table is analysed. Sections of articles marked as being 'special' - for example being within nowiki tags - are identified and details stored in the 'special_text' table. Once done, the text of the articles is analysed once more and all wikilinks identified. These are stored in the 'raw_links' table.

The raw links are matched back to article titles where possible. A number of different transformations of the links is carried out - for example removing repeated spaces and some special character codes - to ensure as many links as possible are matched. Links for which a target is found are moved into the 'good_links' table. Unmatched links end up in 'bad_links' and any links which could not be processed - for example because they were badly formed or were interlanguage links - end up in 'unhandled_links'.

Once all this is done, summaries of the number and types of links are calculated. Summaries of good links are stored on the 'art' table. Unmatched links (those in the 'bad_links' table) are summarised to 'bad_link_summary'.

The script
-- --           Script to create WikiPedia reporting database                 -- -- -- This script recreates a set of 'links' tables by analysing the text of  -- -- articles stored in the 'cur' table.
