task T260986

I downloaded the cirrussearch-content dump and was filtering articles based on categories and noticed some articles I expected to find weren't present.

This is the file I downloaded:

enwiki-20200727-cirrussearch-content.json.gz

Some articles I expected to find, but didn't: "Paper Mario", "Sakura Wars (1996 video game)". I thought maybe it was an issue with my category filtering, but I also tried just printing every title and checking that list and those articles don't seem to be present.

On further examination, the JSON I have has a little over 5M entries with a "title" property. But English Wikipedia passed 6M entries in January, so that number seems off...

Might be a bug. I have reported this in phabricator:
