Text of the page (random words):
atabase was about 4 gb in size by april 2004 it was growing at about 1 to 1 4 gb per week and by october 2004 it had grown to about 170 gb uploaded files took up approximately 372 gigabytes lc update excluding thumbnails for current information see wikitech backup procedures compressed database dumps can be downloaded at https dumps wikimedia org what kind of markup language does wikipedia use edit wikipedia uses wikitext why not use html edit the short answer is for simplicity and security and now the longer answer wikipedia and wikis in general are meant to be edited on the fly html is not easy to use when you simply want to write an article creating links gives us a particularly dramatic example to link to the paris article using html one would have to type a href wiki paris paris a using mediawiki markup is much easier paris a special markup language even allows you to transclude special snippets of code called templates into wiki pages you can also substitute the code for that template effectively copying and pasting it into the document then there s security different web browsers have bugs that can be exploited via html malicious users could also do things like javascript popup windows or page redirects if they had full html ability on wikipedia several experimental sites that allowed full html editing have suffered such attacks including a couple of other wikis that allowed arbitrary html so we can t use any html edit that s not true certain html tags work namely the ones in this list it s still best not to rely on using html directly because support for these tags is not always guaranteed to remain they might affect the results achieved with visualeditor and if you can achieve your needed effect using only wikitext markup you re most likely to get a result that is stable when the mediawiki software is updated what about non ascii characters and special symbols edit wikipedia uses unicode specifically utf 8 and most browsers can handle it font issues mean that more obscure characters may not work for many users see the meta help special characters page for a detailed discussion of what is generally safe and what isn t see http www unicode org help display_problems html for instructions on how to enable unicode support for most platforms what about math topics which require many special symbols fonts and graphics edit just use tex see help displaying a formula is it possible to download the contents of wikipedia edit yes the complete text and editing history of all wikipedia pages can be downloaded wikipedia database download you can also get wikipedia content via apis check out wikimedia developer portal wikimedia apis and wikimedia enterprise note that downloading the database dumps or using the apis is much preferred over trying to spider the site spidering the site will take you much longer and it puts a lot of load on the server especially if you ignore our robots txt and spider over billions of combinations of diffs and whatnot heavy spidering can lead to your spider or your ip being barred with prejudice from access to the site please see robot policy and user agent policy is there a library to query wikipedia in my programming language edit generally speaking yes client code is available in many languages see here for a non exhaustive list see also the api documentation and our bot tutorial does wikipedia use cookies edit cookies are not required to read wikipedia but they are required in order to log in and link your edits to a user account when you log in the wiki will set a temporary session cookie which identifies your login session this will be expired when your browser exits or after an inactivity timeout and is not saved on your hard drive another cookie will be saved which lists the user name you last logged in under to make subsequent logins just a teensy bit easier actually two one with your name and one with your account s internal id number they must match up these cookies expire after 365 days if this worries you clear your cookies after completing your session if you check the remember my password box on the login form another cookie will be saved with a token that authenticates you to our servers which is unrelated to your password as long as this remains valid you can bypass the login step on subsequent visits to the wiki the cookie expires after 365 days or is removed if you log out if this worries you don t use the option you should not use it on a public terminal see the cookie statement linked at the bottom of each page for other details why was i automatically logged out edit this could be a result of your cookie browser cache or firewall internet security settings or to quote tim starling referring to a question about remembering password across sessions the kind of session isn t a network session strictly speaking it s an http session managed by php s session handling functions this kind of session works by setting a cookie just like the remember password feature the difference is that the session cookie has the discard attribute set which means that it is discarded when you close your browser this is done to prevent others from using your account after you have left the computer the other difference is that php sessions store the user id and other such information on the server side only a session key is sent to the user the remember password feature stores all required authentication information in the cookie itself on our servers the session information is stored in memcached a system for non durable unreliable caching session information may occasionally be lost or go missing temporarily causing users to be logged out the simplest workaround for this is to use the remember password feature as long as you are not worried about other people using the same computer wikipedia village pump technical on may 4 2005 italics added in other words click the remember me box when logging in see also help logging in the software that runs wikipedia is great can i use it for my site edit you can but depending on your needs you might be better served using something else mediawiki is big and complex first see wiki software for a list of alternative wiki software if after scanning you re still sure you want to use mediawiki see the mediawiki web site for details on downloading installing and configuring the software is the random article feature really random edit no although it s random enough to provide a small sample of articles reliably in the wikipedia database each page is assigned a random index which is a pseudorandom floating point number uniformly distributed between 0 inclusive and 1 exclusive the random article feature special random chooses a pseudorandom double precision floating point number and returns the next article whose random index is greater than the selected random number some articles will have a larger gap before them in the random index space and so will be more likely to be selected so the actual probability of any given article being selected is in fact itself randomized the pseudorandom index value for new articles and the pseudorandom value used by special random is selected by reading two 31 bit words from a mersenne twister which is seeded at each request by php s initialisation code using a high resolution timer and the pid the words are combined using mt_rand max mt_rand max max some old articles had their page_random value reset using mysql s rand rand_st seed1 rand_st seed1 3 rand_st seed2 rand_st max_value rand_st seed2 rand_st seed1 rand_st seed2 33 rand_st max_value return double rand_st seed1 rand_st max_value_dbl due to a bug many pages created in 2004 and 2005 used to have non random page_random values this was corrected in 2018 are page hit counters available edit yes page information under tools in the desktop sidebar shows page views in the past 30 days with a link to a simple graph there is an advanced pageviews analysis tool maintained by the wikimedia foundation which allows you to view hit counts for one page or for multiple pages concurrently additionally the weekly top 25 report provides a list of the 25 most popular articles with commentary in the last week can i access wikipedia via http due to problems using https edit no in 2015 the wikimedia foundation decided to move to only allow access via https 1 http access is no longer available and automatically redirects requests to https access http strict transport security is enabled so recent browsers should actually refuse to even attempt to connect via http automatically rewriting urls into https before connecting after the first successful connection via https are there currently problems with the servers or network edit for the current server or network status please see www wikimediastatus net more detailed information about specific services can be found on grafana i have a problem not on this list
