== Knowing if a dump is valid == The most common problem with dumps is to be truncated. Sometimes some tag does not close and xpat based parsers like python-mediawiki-utils / wikiq will fail. Commonly dumps are truncated after a revision or page for some unknown reason. We assume that an xml dump is an accurate representation of the wiki if it has opening and closing <mediawiki> tags and is valid xml. Sometimes wikia dumps have funny quirks (e.g., they put SHA1s in weird places). We just have to work around these. Consider including and surfacing such fields when building tools for working with mediawiki data so that language objects accurately reflect underlying data. Nate and Salt are working on tools to help with this.
