WikiParser is mainly used for extracting information about blocked users on Wikipedia by SAX-parsing Wikipedia dumps. There is also a rudimentary implementation of page history extraction. However, users interested in page history extraction should rather refer to 0nse/WikiWho DiscussionParser. 0nse/WikiWho DiscussionParser is much more efficient (especially in terms of speed), elaborate and versatile.
The current LoggingBlockHandler processes logging dumps from the English Wikipedia and writes information about user blocks into a CSV file.
Thus, one can easily generate statistics with simple UNIX tools.
One example would be extracting the number of affected unique users by employing awk -F "\t" '{print $6}' logItems.csv | sort | uniq | wc -l.
BlockLogPostProcessing is used while extracting blocks to filter some, which are not of interest.
Among others, filtered blocks were issued on bots or as tests.
