Three months ago, "they" changed the way dumps are done. "They" wanted stubs for every language done first and work on the rest of the dump later.
Old way: Two dumps a month for all languages except enwiki. A new dump was started when one completed. Except for larger languages, dumps were done in under a day.
New way: One dump a month for majority of languages. Dumps have to be started manually. All dumps take 2-4 weeks to complete.
Last month, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and others were never completed.
It's about to be August 5. No dumps have started this month. Only one dump has started in over two weeks.
Does anybody know how to get dumps working again.
