I've turned on 'checkpointing' for the following wikis: eswiki, itwiki,
ruwiki, wikidatawiki
This means that, as for enwiki and now dewiki, smaller and more files will
be produced with page content. See
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/274730/ for the changeset.
I've done this for two reasons: first, the files were getting large, and
second, recovery from failure in those steps will now be quicker and easier
for those wikis.
