I have other Wikis to test with, (french + bosnian + lituanian) but I 
still have two questions :
#1 : I can't find your "ChangeCollection.py" script : where did you hide 
it ?
#2 : How can you find the last id in .dat file ? for me it is not 
humanly readable...
#3 (extra bonus question)  : Don't you think it would be possible to 
automatize those steps ?
The last steps are very easy to do. ;-), I think I'll manage to do it.

Thanks for your nice job.
