# Dataset Card for multilingual WikiHow with ~16.8K entries. ~(2-2.2)K for each language.

### Warning [1]

The WikiHow team contacted me and made it clear that **they forbid the use of their data for machine learning purposes**. However, I am not calling for anything, and this dataset only shows the concept, and I strongly advise against violating their ToS.
However, consultation with lawyers made it clear that **dataset can be used for such purposes** if the project has **research purposes**.

### Warning [2]

Source code is kinda **very** bad, and I'm lazy to fix it.

### Dataset Summary

Contains Parquet of a list of instructions and WikiHow articles on different languages.

Each row consists of

* INSTRUCTION
* RESPONSE
* SOURCE (*.wikihow.com)
* METADATA (json with url and language).
