Issue: Error loading wikihow dataset
State: closed
Labels: name: bug

## Describe the bug

When attempting to load wikihow into a dataset with
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('wikihow', data_dir='./wikihow')
```
I get the message:
```
AttributeError: 'BuilderConfig' object has no attribute 'filename'
```
at the end of a [full stack trace](https://gist.github.com/odellus/602c3b2de52f541d353b1022f320ffc2).

## Steps to reproduce the bug

I have followed the instructions for creating a wikihow dataset. The [wikihow dataset site](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikihow) says to use 
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('wikihow')
```
to load the dataset. I do so and I get the message
```
AssertionError: The dataset wikihow with config all requires manual data.
 Please follow the manual download instructions:   You need to manually download two wikihow files. An overview of which files to download can be seen at https://github.com/mahnazkoupaee/WikiHow-Dataset.
  You need to download the following two files manually:
    1) https://ucsb.app.box.com/s/ap23l8gafpezf4tq3wapr6u8241zz358 and save the file under <path/to/folder>/wikihowAll.csv
    2) https://ucsb.app.box.com/s/7yq601ijl1lzvlfu4rjdbbxforzd2oag and save the file under <path/to/folder>/wikihowSep.csv

  The <path/to/folder> can e.g. be "~/manual_wikihow_data".

  Wikihow can then be loaded using the following command `datasets.load_dataset("wikihow", data_dir="<path/to/folder>")`.
  .
 Manual data can be loaded with `datasets.load_dataset(wikihow, data_dir='<path/to/manual/data>')
```

So I create a directory `./wikihow` and download `wikihowAll.csv` and `wikihowSep.csv` into the new directory.

Then I run 
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('wikihow', data_dir='./wikihow')
```

that's when I get the [stack trace](https://gist.github.com/odellus/602c3b2de52f541d353b1022f320ffc2)

## Expected results
I expected it to load the downloaded files into a dataset.

## Actual results
```python

Hi @odellus, thanks for reporting.

The `wikihow` dataset has 2 versions:
- `all`: Consisting of the concatenation of all paragraphs as the articles and the bold lines as the reference summaries.
- `sep`: Consisting of each paragraph and its summary.

Therefore, in order to load it, you have to specify which version you would like, for example:
```python
dataset = load_dataset('wikihow', 'all')
```

Please, tell me if this solves your problem.

Good call out. I did try that and that's when it told me to download the
dataset. Don't believe I have tried it with local files. Will try first
thing in the morning and get back to you.

Hi @odellus, yes you are right.

Due to the server where the `wikihow` dataset is hosted, the dataset can't be downloaded automatically by `huggingface` and you have to download it manually as you did.

Nevertheless, you have to specify which dataset version you would like to load anyway:
```python
dataset = load_dataset('wikihow', 'all', data_dir='./wikihow')
```
or
```python
dataset = load_dataset('wikihow', 'sep', data_dir='./wikihow')
```
I find that the instructions given by `huggingface` are not clear enough: I am going to fix this.
Please tell me if this eventually works for you.

That was it. Thank you Albert!
