This issue was converted from https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/DBQ-17. Summary: Red links in en wikipedia containing a mismatched number of brackets Issue type: Task - A task that needs to be done. Priority: Trivial Status: Done Assignee: Topbanana <wikipedia@tiko.demon.co.uk> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Topbanana <wikipedia@tiko.demon.co.uk> Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:09:57 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just a simple test query to see how this service works. I'd like a listing of all red links in the main namespace of the en wikipedia containing a mismatched number of brackets - for example "[[fred (artist]]". Handy SQL trick for this is WHERE length(replace(linktext, '(', '')) <> length(replace(linktext, ')', '')). Ideally I'd like to be made a toolserver user and run the query myself.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Topbanana <wikipedia@tiko.demon.co.uk> Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:44:34 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No problem - pop a LIMIT 100 on the query or just return results for article id's less than 10000 if it's a concern. To date I've been downloading the periodic database dumps onto a cranky old server box to run queries like this - I'm more interested in finding out how this service works and what it's capable of for now. If I can get (or do) arbitrary queries (within reason) against a reasonably up to date wikipedia database from this service I'll be a very happy bunny indeed ![][1] [1]: https://jira.toolserver.org/images/icons/emoticons/smile.gif
