We plan to move to the new schema for xml dumps for the February 1, 2020
run. Update your scripts and apps accordingly!
The new schema contains an entry for each 'slot' of content. This means
that, for example, the commonswiki dump will contain MediaInfo information
as well as the usual wikitext. See
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/core/+/master/docs…
for the schema and
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Schema_update_for_multi…
for further explanation and example outputs.
Phabricator task for the update:

PLEASE FORWARD to other lists as you deem appropriate. Thanks!
