Re: [Wikitech-l] [Potential Spoof] Question about wikidata dump bz2 file

Hi Trung,

For larger wikis, there will be a collection of partial files such as these, where the pXXXpXXX indicate the first and last page ids in the file. But for pages-articles, there will also be a combined file generated, so you'll be able to download that directly. It's listed on the download page https://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/20170401/ and the direct link is as you expect: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/20170401/wikidatawiki-20170401-page...

Please do consider joining the xmldatadumps-l list; changes and updates are announced there, among other things.

Trung,

If you do not get an answer on the developers' forum, there is a dumps-focused mailing list at https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/xmldatadumps-l

Cheers,

Sorry, I hit enter early by accident.

I realized the dump file for wikidata is no longer in the format wikidatawiki-2017XXXX-pages-articles.xml.bz2 anymore. Now, it is split in to different dumps: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/latest/ wikidatawiki-latest-md5sums.txt

I am wondering when did this happen and the rationale behind it. Will it be permanent or we will switch back to the original format soon ?

Thank you,

Best regards,

Trung
