Gizmodo [1] and The Verge [2] report that Wikimedia Enterprise and Google's Kaggle are supplying a dataset from Wikipedia formatted for AI companies in order to ease the burden from scraping bots on the WMF's IT infrastructure. Both outlets cite an announcement from Wikimedia Enterprise (a paid service operated by Wikimedia LLC, the Wikimedia Foundation's for-profit subsidiary) that in turn links to the download page on Kaggle. As of April 17 – the date of Gizmodo's report – it had recorded 186 downloads. Google's Blog also reports the news on the dataset.
An earlier version of the same dataset had been published on Hugging Face in September 2024. As summarized in the current Enterprise announcement, the dataset consists of structured Wikipedia content in English and French [...d]esigned with machine learning workflows in mind
, and includes high-utility elements such as abstracts, short descriptions, infobox-style key-value data, image links, and clearly segmented article sections
. It does not include the media files from Wikimedia Commons that the Foundation recently described as the primary target of problematic crawler activity (see last Signpost issue: "Op-ed: How crawlers impact the operations of the Wikimedia projects", "Opinion: Crawlers, hogs and gorillas"). According to an FAQ, Enterprise currently support[s] all text-based Wikimedia projects, but do[es] not currently support Wikidata (besides QIDs) or Wikimedia Commons.
