Sql/XML dumps issues

Files are provided in various formats, including gzipped sql, json or xml, bzipped xml, and 7zipped xml. The 7zip decoder on Windows is known to have problems with some bz2-format files for larger wikis; we recommend the use of bzip2 for Windows for these cases. Please report problems with these dumps on Phabricator and add the Dumps-generation tag.
