Stack Exchange — italian.stackexchange.com
The content of italian.stackexchange.com (https://italian.stackexchange.com/), a Stack Exchange question-and-answer site, as published in the Stack Exchange Data Dump of April 2024 on the Internet Archive. The posts table holds 32,786 rows: 9,532 posts (3,785 questions, 5,582 answers, 82 tag wiki excerpts, 82 tag wikis and 1 post of type 7) and 23,254 comments, written between 5 November 2013 and 30 March 2024. Beside it are 9,228 user accounts, 42,945 votes, 13,604 badges awarded, 95 tags, 32,323 post revisions and 626 links between posts. Every answer keeps the question it answers and every comment the post it was written on, so the threads can be rebuilt. The Internet Archive item describes the dump as anonymised; the votes table names the voter in only 20 rows.
