Stack ExchangeAcademicEngagementKnowledge sharingQ&ASocial graphSoftware development The content of sitecore.stackexchange.com (https://sitecore.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 67,860 rows: 30,051 posts (12,980 questions, 16,210 answers, 424 tag wiki excerpts, 424 tag wikis and 13 posts of type 6) and 37,809 comments, written between 13 September 2016 and 31 March 2024. Beside it are 11,902 user accounts, 93,090 votes, 29,065 badges awarded, 386 tags, 97,060 post revisions and 2,236 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 83 rows.
