I absolutely agree with you that this is a horrible way to get the structure.

The original problem was getting the recent changes from a mediawiki site. I use the excellent mod:MediaWiki::Bot module to retrieve the info using the Mediawiki API.

What you get is then an array of hashes with this structure: 

$VAR50 = {
           'revid' => 174,
           'ns' => 0,
           'comment' => '',
           'timestamp' => '2013-04-01T12:30:28Z',
           'user' => 'user',
           'title' => 'page title',
           'type' => 'edit',
           'pageid' => 50,
           'old_revid' => 173,
           'rcid' => 180
         };

But I then need to put it all together per user: pages edited, number of edits, etc. It would be much easier if I had database access but that is a no-no Thanks for taking the time to look into this.
