Stack Exchange — latin.stackexchange.com

The content of latin.stackexchange.com (https://latin.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 45,869 rows: 16,172 posts (6,484 questions, 9,333 answers, 170 tag wiki excerpts, 170 tag wikis, 10 posts of type 6 and 5 posts of type 7) and 29,697 comments, written between 23 February 2016 and 31 March 2024.

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 189 rows.
