Dataset Summary Early beta release of pre-parsed English and French Wikipedia articles including infoboxes. Inviting feedback.

This dataset contains all articles of the English and French language editions of Wikipedia, pre-parsed and outputted as structured JSON files with a consistent schema. Each JSON line holds the content of one full Wikipedia article stripped of extra markdown and non-prose sections (references, etc.).

Invitation for Feedback The dataset is built as part of the Structured Contents initiative and based on the Wikimedia Enterprise html snapshots. It is an early beta release to improve transparency in the development process and request feedback. This first version includes pre-parsed Wikipedia abstracts, short descriptions, main images links, infoboxes and article sections, excluding non-prose sections (e.g. references). More elements (such as lists and tables) may be added over time. For updates follow the project’s blog and our Mediawiki Quarterly software updates on MediaWiki. As this is an early beta release, we highly value your feedback to help us refine and improve this dataset. Please share your thoughts, suggestions, and any issues you encounter either on the discussion page of Wikimedia Enterprise’s homepage on Meta wiki, or on the discussion page for this dataset here on Kaggle.
