### Dataset Summary

Wikipedia dataset containing cleaned articles of all languages.

The dataset is built from the Wikipedia dumps (https://dumps.wikimedia.org/)
with one subset per language, each conatining a single train split.

Each example contains the content of one full Wikipedia article with cleaning to strip
markdown and unwanted sections (references, etc.).


All language subsets have already been processed for recent dump, and you can load them per date and language this way:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset

load_dataset("wikipedia", "20231101.en")
```

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The dataset is generally used for Language Modeling.

### Languages

You can find the list of languages here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

An example looks as follows:
```
{'id': '1',
 'url': 'https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/April',
 'title': 'April',
 'text': 'April is the fourth month...'
}
```

### Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all configurations:
- `id` (`str`): ID of the article.
- `url` (`str`): URL of the article.
- `title` (`str`): Title of the article.
- `text` (`str`): Text content of the article.

### Data Splits

All configurations contain a single `train` split.
