You can do that with the tagged releases too. You don't have to run
trunk for that.

I used it for r81084. Maybe a misuse of WMF time, but I couldn't bear
the thought that I had committed untested, broken code.

Downloading it turned out to be more difficult than I thought, since
you have to create an account on the Oracle website, and the relevant
webserver was down. Bugmenot.com saved the day.

All I know is doing svn update && php update.php is a lot easier than
any other way of updating.

Working out of the box Minh! Looks like the solution was a combination
between what was written in the page
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor/Toolbar_customization
.

Thanks a million!

For which were born in phase3, it's quite easy as it will match with
lower revision ids.
Old projects which came from usemodwiki had an import of the
then-current data, and history was imported later. So you have no other
way than looking at edit time.

For enwiki, you may prefer looking at the old backup recently discovered

Start reading from the beginning of the XML dump,
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html

The order articles appear there is mostly the
creation date, except for the first year (2001),
where it is a little more random.

[Paul Houle]

Hi,  I've been thinking about the early history of Wikipedia and 
about what which sort of topics got written early on.  I'm wondering if 
there is an easy way to find the first N wikipedia topics (where N is 
say 100,000) in the order they were created.

I'd think whoever cares already know about that. I don't see why WMF should be 
directly working on that though ;-)
