Hello XML dumps users and contributors,
Unfortunately, we have had to interrupt the enwiki dump for 20241220
<https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20241220/> and delay the start of
the enwiki dump on January 1st.
This is due to some performance issues in the database layer, which have
been identified in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T368098 and have
been causing significant impact to on-wiki workflows, as well as
out-of-hours notifications to our SRE teams.
We do not do this lightly and we apologise for any inconvenience that
this may cause you, as we understand how important these data sets are.
Please be assured that we at the WMF are working hard on improving the
dumps architecture at the moment, on multiple fronts.
We will follow up with further information early in the New Year, when
we re-enable the enwiki dump.
Kind regards,
Ben
