Wikidata Entities

Every Wikidata item and property in the dump, one row each: its type, its page on Wikidata and the revision the dump has.

Files

Files are at all/part-{i}-of-{n}.parquet. Rows are sorted by id across the files, in string order (Q10 comes before Q2), so a filter on id reads only the row groups whose id range can hold it.

Schema

Column	Type
id	string	The item (Q…) or property (P…)
type	string	item or property
datatype	string	A property's value type (wikibase-item, external-id, time, ...); null for an item
ns	integer	Its page's namespace on wikidata.org: 0 for items, 120 for properties
title	string	Its page's title: Q42, or Property:P31
pageid	integer	Its page's id on wikidata.org
lastrevid	integer	The page revision the dump has
modified	string	When that revision was made (ISO 8601, UTC)

lastrevid and modified say how current each item is in the release: an item edited after the dump was made differs on Wikidata from its rows here.

Loading

There is one subset, all.

import polars as pl

entities = pl.scan_parquet("hf://datasets/permutans/wikidata-entities/all/*.parquet")
entities.filter(pl.col("id") == "Q42").collect()

In total: 1 files, 329.6 kB of Parquet, 13,929 rows.

The wikidata-pq tables

Seven tables built from the same dump by wikidata-pq, all keyed by Wikidata id:

Dataset	Rows	Split by
wikidata-entities	an item's or property's type, page and last revision	not split
wikidata-labels	its name, per language	language
wikidata-descriptions	its short description, per language	language
wikidata-aliases	its other names, per language	language
wikidata-links	its page title and badges on each Wikimedia site	site
wikidata-claims	its statements	not split
wikidata-claims_labels	names of the properties, items and units its statements refer to, per language	language

The dump's scholarly works (any item that is an instance of one of the classes in scholarly.py: scholarly articles, theses, conference papers, preprints, errata, reports, ...) are in the same seven tables named wikidata-scholar-*, such as wikidata-scholar-claims; these tables hold everything else.

Releases

Each release is built from one of Wikidata's weekly JSON dumps, named by its date: this one is 20260928, from wikidata-20260928-all.json.bz2, every item and property in it but its scholarly works. The main branch holds the latest release; every release is also a tag, so a release can be pinned:

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("permutans/wikidata-labels", "en", revision="20260928")

The tag 20260507 holds the tables built before releases, from philippesaade/wikidata (the dump of 2026-05-07 without scholarly articles, and without the fields that copy dropped).
