database-reports

MediaWiki database reports, primarily written for the English Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_reports.

Dependencies

• Rust 1.56+, usually installed with rustup
• Access to WikiReplicas (see instructions)

If you want to run these reports locally, create or copy a ~/replica.my.cnf file that looks roughly like this:

[client]
user='databaseusernamehere'
password='databasepasswordhere'
local='true'

Create a ~/.dbreps.toml file that looks roughly like this:

[auth]
username = "wikiusernamehere"
password = "wikipasswordhere"

Then in a shell you can create an SSH tunnel using a command such as this:

ssh -N shellusernamehere@tools-login.wmflabs.org -L 3306:enwiki.analytics.db.svc.wikimedia.cloud:3306
