[Developers] Question about wpid and freebase id

[Shug Boabby]

Hi all,

I am currently using the Freebase API in client-side code, and some
server side code. I wish to use a local database to resolve various
freebase ids/guids to Wikipedia URLs (actually, I wish to have a
backup incase Freebase is not available). However, although the WEX
dumps have the wpid table, I am not able to find the Wikipedia Names
anywhere.

1 - The closest thing I have found are the Freebase Names... are these
related to the Wikipedia names? Are there any cases where a Freebase
Name will not map to a Wikipedia Name (and vice versa)?

2 - Are there any instances where a Wikipedia article may redirect to
another Wikipedia article, but these 2 articles have different
freebase guids or ids? One could imagine the scenario where 2 distinct
articles once existed on Wikipedia (and Freebase assigned guids/ids to
each), but were later merged into one and the other changed to a
redirect. (Assume that Wikipedia has remained static since the last
data dump). My gut instinct is that they may have different freebase
guids, but the freebase ids should be the same.

3 - Is it possible to obtain the "freebase id" (not necessarily the
guid) from the data dumps?
