Good points! As the post indicates, I'm not very

The SQL import of the links would have been helpful; most of the
instructions I found recommended using pages-articles.xml, which is a
good place to start. There's no need for two copies of the big wiki.xml
file, I would suggest just re-naming the original download to enwiki.xml
right at the outset.
The file I mentioned to skip was enwiki.sql, which is not xml, but a
copy (in SQL queries) of the xml.
