Hello folks,
I hope everyone is in good health and staying safe in these troubled times.
Speaking of trouble, in the course of making an improvement to the xml/sql dumps, I introduced a bug, and so now I am doing the cleanup from that.
The short version:
There will be a 7z file missing from the wikidata full page content dumps, to be made available in a day or two.
The corresponding bz2 file should become available later today, but it's possible that I will instead provide a slightly longer file which has a bad bz2 block on the end, and pages at the end larger than are specified in the filename. This would mean MANUAL PROCESSING IF YOU USE these full page content dumps. If this happens, I'll send an email update.
The long version:
IN ALL CASES the xml/dumps run for the 20th of the month (ie. today) should start late tonight UTC time, if not earlier.
My apologies for the inconvenience!
Ariel
