Aaron, any chance you know the answer to this question? I have a vague
memory that we talked about deleted pages and their text some time back.
This data should live somewhere, right? given that deleted pages can be
restored.
Thanks,
Leila

Hi everyone,
I'd like to find all enwiki articles that were ever marked with the
{{hoax}} template. Pages with that template mostly end up being deleted, so
they're not available in the public revision dumps
<https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20150602/>.
Hence my question:
Is there a way of getting access to the full enwiki revision dump
including all deleted pages?
I don't know yet which deleted articles I'm interested in, but will only
know that after having done a pass over the full revision history.
I know that viewing deleted content is problematic
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Viewing_deleted_content> (hence
I'm sending this request to this internal research list), but I signed an
NDA and have access to data on HDFS via stat1002, so there might be a way
for me to access that data?
I'm also aware of a list of archived hoaxes
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_hoaxes_on_Wikipedia>,
but many shorter-lived hoaxes that got deleted fast are not included there.
Thanks -- any pointers welcome!
Bob
