strangely the enwiki dump is complete, but not a lot of the other
wikis (such as enwiktionary) that are a lot smaller
usually they're finished after a few days
something going wrong with the dump script?

Sincerely,

I've been using the monthly page view summaries from pagecounts-ez. Now on https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-ez/ it says:
"NOTE: This dataset has had some problems and we are no longer generating new data, since September 2020. We are phasing it out in favor of Pageviews Complete... When it's finished we will announce it widely and explain how to migrate."
Is the announcement and explanation available somewhere. I'm having problems because
1. The "totals" files, such as https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-ez/merged/pagecounts-2020-08-v…, which are of the order of 500Mb per month seem to have no equivalents in the new pageview complete dump archives. The monthly files at https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pageview_complete/monthly/2020/2020-08/ are 10x larger (and I can't find any description of what the "automated" "user" and "spider" files represent, although I can guess)
2. If I download (say) https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pageview_complete/monthly/2020/2020-08/pa…, and peek at the file using bzless, it seems to contain lots of binary characters: it's not clear to me what the format is, or how to decode it. Is there any information online to help me?
Thanks for any pointers that might help.

Dear All,
I am User:Hydriz on Wikimedia wikis and I am working on a grant
proposal to facilitate browsing and downloading of Wikimedia datasets
(including the database dumps as well as other datasets). It is a
proposed rewrite of the existing system which focused primarily on
archiving the datasets to the Internet Archive. [1]
My proposal aims to modernize the software used for automatically
archiving datasets to the Internet Archive. More importantly, it aims
to put researchers and downloaders first, by providing both a
human-readable and a machine-readable interface for browsing and
downloading datasets, whether present or historical. I also intend to
integrate a "watchlist" feature that can automatically notify users
when new datasets are available.
Please do express your support for this proposal and help make this
project a reality. Thank you!
Warmest regards.
Hydriz Scholz
