A directed graph of users editing talk pages of other users
Current implementation of WikiNetwork is an author network that use number of edits of talk pages to weight edges.

There are two versions of graphs: The wiki history is more reliable than current, but his calculation is *so* slower than current. Empirical analisys on small networks (such as wikipedia in friulano) show that there is a few difference between the edges in the two type of network.
 * 1) the wiki history
 * 2) the wiki current

Other informations on calculations of networks can be found Here.

Current Graph
Based on pages-meta-current xml dump.

We search signatures of users parsing wikitext of the user talk pages.

History Graph
Based on stub-meta-history xml dump, that contains all the revision of each talk pages, so is useless parsing wikitext.
