Dataset Creation

Source Data

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

The dataset is built from the Wikipedia dumps: https://dumps.wikimedia.org

You can find the full list of languages and dates here: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html

The articles have been parsed using the mwparserfromhell tool.

When uploading the data files for the 20231101 dump, we noticed that the Wikimedia Dumps website does not contain this date dump for the "bbc", "dga", nor "zgh" Wikipedias. We have reported the issue to the Wikimedia Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T351761
