- Download the split files for en.old from http://download.wikimedia.org. As the database grows there occasionally come to be more split files than there are links. Therefore, after downloading e.g. xaa, xab, xac, xad, xae through the links it also may be necessary to download e.g. xaf and xag.
- Compile wikitrunc.c with gcc
- $ cat xa? | bunzip2 | wikitrunc > trunc_old.sql
- $ mysql --database=test --user=administrator --password=
- At the sql prompt, @trunc_old.sql
- Allow a week or more for a typical pc.
- Run the pre.sql script (14 hours)
- Cut and paste Special:Listadmins to a local file named adminlist.txt.
- Edit the post.sql script to change minimums (if desired) and run it; you get a file called "list"
- Edit the fmtlist.c to change the cutoff date, compile with gcc
- fmtlist <list >list.wiki
- Paste to Wikipedia:Another list of Wikipedians in order of arrival
