Plaintext Wikipedia (Kabyle)

Compressed plaintext articles from Kabyle Wikipedia. One current main-namespace revision per non-redirect article; titles and cleaned text are stored as UTF-8 in independent gzip shards.

Produced and maintained by cheeseonamonkey/PlainTextWikipedia.

Build status: COMPLETE — 1/1 root shards recovered (1 leaf archives). All planned page ranges recovered.

Format

Each .txt.gz shard has three lines per article (title, single-line body, blank separator):

Article title
Cleaned article body

Next title
Next article body

Shard files are normally named kabwiki_01_of_NN.txt.gz, etc. If one shard fails, recovery splits it into named halves like kabwiki_01a_of_NN.txt.gz and kabwiki_01b_of_NN.txt.gz; a failing half can split again (01ba, 01bb, etc.). Only successful, non-overlapping leaves are published.

The machine-readable coverage file data/build-manifest.json records which roots and subranges completed. Always check its complete flag before treating a dataset as exhaustive. These are raw text archives, not structured rows with title and body fields in the Hugging Face datasets API.

Example: download and read

import gzip
from huggingface_hub import HfApi, hf_hub_download

repo = "ffatty/plaintext-wikipedia-full-kabyle"
files = sorted(
    path for path in HfApi().list_repo_files(repo, repo_type="dataset")
    if path.startswith("data/") and path.endswith(".txt.gz")
)
path = hf_hub_download(repo, filename=files[0], repo_type="dataset")

with gzip.open(path, "rt", encoding="utf-8") as stream:
    title = stream.readline().rstrip("\n")
    body = stream.readline().rstrip("\n")
    print(title, body[:200])
