The latest Wikidata dump was ready on May 28, the dump should become available soon after this. It does not and consequently the statistics are already dated when they become available. Given that the numbers are followed to steer activity towards quality it would be really beneficial when the dumps become automatically available and it would be even better when a message / mail / tweet can be produced for those interested. Thanks, GerardM http://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/
There is a newer dump now on the link you provided. Is the issue that they are not available on tool labs?
When the dumps become available on labs, the statistics are automagically created. Thanks, GerardM
What did you except to happen? What happened instead?
Check out https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/stats.php it parses each dump when it becomes available. The data for two dumps is missing in the statistics and consequently the data cannot be analysed. We did use the data to determine our actions. Thanks, GerardM
You filed a bug against the Wikimedia Labs Infrastructure. What did you except to happen there? What happened instead?
I expect that it gets proper attention. For me the processes of getting external data in their Labs place is part of the infrastructure. Thanks, GerardM
Okay, closing then as I can't understand what's wrong. Please see http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html for how to report bugs effectively.
Dumps are created outside of labs. They are moved by Labs staff to Labs. This is all I know and it has been done automagically until the move to the new datacentre. After that things were no longer done automagically. What do you not understand? Thanks, GerardM
Learned from Tim that the files are automagically moved to /public/datasets/public/wikidatawiki The question now is why does the script by Magnus not pick it up. Thanks, GerardM
*** Bug 67922 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Sorry, I don't know how to do all the fancy bugzilla text stuff. I too reported the problem and was told my bug was a duplicate of #48894 Dumps have been dead for six weeks now, frustration is building with all the user complaints.
Nowadays dumps exist and are created more than once per month: http://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/ Closing as WORKSFORME.
There was new disk space (and a new server IIRC?) added, so it was FIXED (assuming this bug's topic essentially was an issue with /public/datasets/public).
