The Wikidata JSON dump is currently located at
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/wikidata/
This does not follow the common scheme used by all other dumps. For example, the daily (incremental) dumps are at the location
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/incr/wikidatawiki/
Here "incr" specifies is the type of dump, and "wikidatawiki" is the official Wikimedia site name of Wikidata.org. The current scheme uses a custom string name ("wikidata") that is not a site name, and it completely fails to specify the dump type. If more projects would generate JSON dumps (e.g., a future Wikimedia Commons installation of Wikibase), then this naming pattern will not work.
I suggest to use a location like:
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/wikibase-json/wikidatawiki/
Or maybe use "json" if you find this specific enough. While doing this, the file names should also be made more descriptive (Bug 68792).
