TASK DESCRIPTION As a data user working with Wikidata, I want to know whether the dumps are considered a stable interface or not, in order to make an informed decision on whether I ought to use them. **Problem:** The Stable Interface Policy <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Stable_Interface_Policy> (currently <https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata:Stable_Interface_Policy&oldid=1891984477>) doesn’t make it clear whether the //entity// dumps (not the XML dumps) are part of the stable interface or not. (See discussion in T305660#9435980 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T305660#9435980> and T305660#9460353 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T305660#9460353>.) According to @Lydia_Pintscher, they should be considered stable (T305660#9460565 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T305660#9460565>). **Acceptance criteria:** - The JSON dumps are listed either under “Stable Public APIs” or under “Unstable Interfaces”. (Probably under “Stable Public APIs” per Lydia above.) - The change to the policy has been announced in accordance with the policy (last bullet under “Notification Policy”: i.e., wikidata-tech, wikidata-l, Project Chat). **Open questions:** - Should we rename “Stable Public APIs” to “Stable interfaces”? I’m not sure if dumps count as APIs. (See also this talk page section <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Stable_Interface_Policy#%E2%80%9CStable_interfaces%E2%80%9D_section>.)
