Wikipedia:Historical archive/Logs/Offline reports

An up-to-date list of offline reports is at Wikipedia:Maintenance.

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

This page serves as the index of a set of reports generated periodically from an offline copy of the Wikipedia database, along with the scripts and instructions needed to regenerate them.

These reports are always a bit out of date and should not be considered authoritative, but may provide useful guidance as to which articles may benefit from attention in particular areas.

It can be used to generate among others the reports dealing with articles and links to and from them below. Instructions on how to construct a Link Analysis Database can be found here.
