Just to confirm, the enwiki-20110901-pages-articles.xml.bz2 file is the concatenation of all those sub-files, right? Would it be possible to restore the filename of this file to enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 for consistency with all the other wikipedias? For example, the latest full dump in http://dumps.wikimedia.org/dewiki/latest/ is called dewiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 and it's the same in all other languages.

Folks who use them, note that this is the first run with the generation of a pile of smaller files. The naming scheme as you will have noticed has an additional string: -p<first-page-id-contained>p<last-pageid-contained> Expect the specific groupings to change from one run to the next; it's time-based, rather than based on the number of pages or revisions. You may notice a gap of a few numbers between files; this would indicate that those pages were deleted and not included in the dump at all. Since there were no issues with the network, database servers, broken MW deployments etc., the run finished without any need for restarts of a particular step; this is probably the fastest we'll ever see it run, in a little under 8 days. Any issues, please let me know. I expect people will need a script to download these files easily; didn't someone on this list have a tool in the works?

I like your trick to fetch the date. What I used to do was to manually download the md5sums file, then parse it to fetch everything from there.

What doesn't seem to work is the files one. In the output of there's nothing matching "enwiki-"
