Bavarian Wikipedia Dump

This datasets hosts a recent Bavarian Wikipedia Dump that is used for various experiments within the Bavarian NLP organization.

Dataset Creation

The latest dump was downloaded with:

wget https://dumps.wikimedia.org/barwiki/20250620/barwiki-20250620-pages-articles.xml.bz2

Then a patched version of WikiExtractor was used (with Python 3.12.3 - newer versions were not working) to extract all articles into JSONL:

python3 -m wikiextractor.WikiExtractor --json --no-templates -o - barwiki-20250620-pages-articles.xml.bz2 > bar_wikipedia.jsonl

The final JSONL file was then uploaded here.

The extracted JSONL file contains 43,911 articles.
