== Overview == Much of the data that makes up the Wikipedia encyclopedia is stored in a [[SQL database]]. It can sometimes be useful to run queries against this database to extract information that is otherwise hard to find. For example: * Articles with ''H.M.S.'' in their title that have not been edited for 12 months. * [[WP:Redirect|Redirects]] with fewer than 20 incoming links that redirect to [[WP:Category|categories]] * All [[WP:Red link|red links]] on pages within the scope of a particular [[WP:WikiProject|WikiProject]] Many simple queries can be run directly using the tools built into the [[MediaWiki]] package used by Wikipedia. Some of the most popular and useful queries are run regularly and can be found at [[Wikipedia:Database reports]]. If neither of these suits your query, you can [[Wikipedia:Request a query|request]] that someone run a query for you, or download your own copy of the database to work on.
