Why would anybody be looking at the API:Data_formats page when they have been using the sandboxes for years with format=php?

Bamyers99 added a comment to T414389: Publish Dumps 2 to dumps.wikimedia.org and provide only monthly dumps.

I don't see a combined file for mediawiki_content_current like pages-meta-current.xml.bz2 that exists in the Dumps 1 directory. I have a workflow that utilizes the combined file: TemplateParameterBot (enwiki)
I also don't see an equivalent to pages-articles.xml.bz2 for "Articles, templates, media/file descriptions, and primary meta-pages". I have multiple workflows that utilize this file for multiple wikis: TemplateParameterBot (several wikis), WikidataClassBrowser (wikidata), CheckWiki (several wikis). These could be converted to use the full content dumps, they will take longer to run though.

wikidatawiki dump appears stalled or it died on "First-pass for page XML data dumps". https://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/20240601/.
Also, it normally dumps tables such as "A few statistics such as the page count" (site_stats.sql) before processing stub-meta. https://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/20240501/

Bamyers99 added a comment to T352055: Toolforge Kubernetes quota requests.memory was reduced.

The reason it uses the "unstable" interface is because it dynamically dispatches jobs from a pod. It used to use the Jobs framework api, but access to this from a pod was blocked sometime in February 2023.

Bamyers99 added a comment to T214343: Create a Perl Docker image for use on the Toolforge Kubernetes cluster.

The checkwiki project has its extra modules installed in a project sub folder and uses a lib statement to add them to the search path.
Example: use lib '/data/project/checkwiki/perl/lib/perl5';

checkwiki_p.cw_new I am available pretty much any time to shutdown the continuous service that is using it.

Bamyers99 added a comment to T257275: Database tables for checkwiki tool needs maintenance to prevent data loss.

s51080__checkwiki_p.cw_dumpscan is a temporary table . I have shutdown the program that uses this table and truncated the table.
s51080__checkwiki_p.cw_new is in continuous use logging recentchanges for 7 wikis via a cron job every 10 minutes. Need to schedule a time to shutdown the program using this table to minimize downtime.
