: The task, as explained, is to create a file equivalent than [http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man5/french.5.html "/usr/share/dict/french"] (output), using the [https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiktionary/latest/enwiktionary-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 wiktionary dump] as input.

:: I have no desire to download an 800 megabyte compressed file for a Rosetta Code task that is who-knows-how-large uncompressed. Surely the task doesn't need to use a file that large. --[[User:Chunes|Chunes]] ([[User talk:Chunes|talk]]) 20:41, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
::: I too have some questions.
::# What does wiktionary have to do with the task? Would any XML encoded word list do? If so, why does the task name include wiktionary?
::# Is the task supposed to show how to download and extract a large file in your particular language? The reference implementation just shells out and uses other tools.
::# If the task is just extract a certain group of entries from an XML file, how does it differ significantly from [[XML/XPath]]?
