Description

I tried using WikiExtractor on the abstract dump, but it didn't extract any files. It did run for sometime, but it only created one folder (AA) and concluded by extracting 0 articles.

Shouldn't WikiExtractor work with any wikipedia dump?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported WikiExtractor run against the Wikipedia abstract XML dump and compare it with a dump that extracts articles successfully. Determine whether abstract dumps are supported, then document the result or make extraction work for that dump type and verify that articles are produced.
