OMG, I was feeling so low about an hour ago:

• I was looking at a super-slick shell script written by a pro (I'll call this person "Ace") using tools I hadn't seen before
• The structure of the NC file was even more daunting at first blush than the PRT files—the PRT was massive, but it was flat
• A basic idea like the values being the same between the PRT and NC files was eluding me

And I was about to email you this message:

So, here's my analysis of what's going on...

This shit is so far over my head!

grep 'INSTANT CH4' *.PRT | \             # scan all files (*.PRT) and filter each file by the text "INSTANT CH4"
       awk ' NR % 2 == 1 { print; } ' | \   # there are two different datasets per file with your variables, this takes the
                                            #   'INSTANT CH4' line from the first dataset
       cut -c 1-7,67-76 | \                 # cut out everything *but* the filename/year (first 7 characters) and the column
                                            #   for the data point you care about (characters 67 to 76)
       sed -E 's/ +/,/' \                   # `cut` takes year and data columns and joins them with a space, `sed` replaces 
                                            #    the space with a comma for CSV
       > INSTANT_CH4.csv                    # save the output to a CSV file

I got really interested in how many edits 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' got after
reading about the contentious issue of whether or not the Plot section should include
information deemed to be a spoiler, and the kinda-heated debate on the Talk page.

This gist also serves as my own documentation for using the WikiMedia query/revisions API.
