Hey @MelanieImf, interesting find -- I don't actually know what is causing that but I suspect one of two things:

• it's a very old page and at some point, the way that protections were tracked by the Mediawiki software that runs Wikipedia was changed and caused this duplicate
• one set of protections was applied to the page directly and another was cascaded down and the API treats them as two separate things even though they have the same result.

Has anybody else noticed the duplicate entries in the API response? They look like duplicates to me or is there a pattern that I am overseeing?

Hi, regarding comparison of dump and API data, should we compare all data or 10 randomly selected ones. Just to be sure if the API will support calling for lots of page ids.
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I'm Melanie, an Outreachy applicant and currently also a Recurse Center fellow based in Connecticut, US. I have a background in spatial data science and cartography, but I am super curious to learn more about networks and NLP. Being a regular on Wikipedia myself, I look forward to contributing to such an amazing and relevant project :-)
